A detainee who was released from custody, Maleem Fidel Mohammad, made public statements concerning being sexually abused with the use of dogs while in Coalition custody. Mr. Mohammad reportedly was hoping that his statements would turn local Afghanis currently working with Coalition forces against assisting or cooperating with Coalition forces in the future. Mr. Mohammed was also reportedly joined in this spreading of abuse allegation by Mr. Amir Mohammed Agha, who was also detained by Coalition forces at one point is reported to be very anti-American.
