Name: Mostafa Karimi
Case: Ackbar Raid
Mostafa Karimi was arrested on 30 April 2015. He was found in a house at 14732 Ackbar
Road, Kandahar,
with drug making paraphernalia and enough raw product and chemicals to produce
several kilos of opium. The subject was in the company of several others
including one Ziyad Sultan who was also
taken into custody. The subject was released on 2
May 2013
because evidence against him was mishandled and subsequently lost.
Additionally, the crime scene was burned to the ground with the loss of all
contents. Arson is suspected. While no proof has been found to indicate a
perpetrator, Miraj Karimi has written and
spoken in public of the travesty of the arrest of his son and is a prime
suspect in the arson.

Shah Mosque.

Hashim Ahmad, Assistant Police Chief, was killed by an IED attack this morning while on route from
his home to the police station in the Maiwand
District. The bomb was located in an
alleyway which Ahmad frequently uses as
a short cut to the police station. Media is calling the incident the Maiwand Alley

[IIR4] Intelligence Information Report-04
Date: 09 May 2015
Source is one Ziyad Sultan, a
known criminal working in the Khojak Drug Cartel.
He has direct knowledge of the Cartel's
operations and contacts. Ziyad was
recently arrested on solid drug charges during the Ackbar Raid but released
under suspicious circumstances. Ziyad's
primary motivation to report information is money. Ziyad identified the leader of the Cartel
as Abu Sultan. Abu is Ziyad's uncle but
notably Abu is of the Tajik tribe. The Tajik
and Pashtun are not on friendly terms
and have different doctrine on government relations; Pashtun being generally for the government and Tajik being generally against the government.
Ziyad indicates that Abu was born in Afghanistan
and is 45 years old. Abu graduated from the prestigious Polytechnic University of Kabul, yet only managed to work as a laborer
in Kandahar. The lack of jobs in his field
drove Abu to the illegal drug trade.

Source named Haji is motivated
to report information because he is dissatisfied with the Abulha Mosque
leadership and religious practices. The Abulha
Mosque is led by Mullah Gabr Ahmed who is
perceived as providing support for the local criminal element. Haji has observed several instances where known
criminals have attended services and had secret meetings on the Mosque grounds. Specifically, Haji has observed Mullah Gabr Ahmed speaking
with Abu Sultan. Haji has also witnessed the Police Chief, Mullah, and drug lord at
the same table during the Mosque's Brotherhood Fundraising
Dinner on 1
May 2015.
Haji states that Habib Ahmed, Gabr Ahmed,
and Abu Sultan are all born into the Tajik tribe.
