Jamal Nasser

Who was Jamal Nasser?

Jamal Nasser was an Afghan soldier who died in United States' custody on March 16, 2003.

In 2004, eighteen months after his death, when his death in custody was brought to the attention of American headquarters, his death was attributed to a kidney infection. Later, an investigation determined that the account of death by natural causes was a fiction, the result of collusion among the GIs in the Special Forces unit whose custody he was in when he died. After a two-year investigation no one was held responsible for his death. However reprimands were filed in the dossiers of several GIs for the failure to report his death.
