A man who spent a decade fighting America's war in Afghanistan died in American immigration custody last weekend, and his family still does not know why.
Mohammad Nazeer Paktyawal, who had worked with US Army Special Forces in the south-eastern Afghan province of Paktika since 2005, was arrested on the morning of 13 March 2026 in Richardson, Texas, by eight masked federal agents who approached him in his car outside his apartment block.
