epresentatives from the U.S. Department of State, joined in a ceremony honoring the Afghan judicial officials who participated in Afghanistan’s first district-level public trial. The trial, held Nov. 8, was presided over by Nurgal Chief Judge Fazal Rabi and resulted in the defendant, Abdul Wadood, being sentenced to six months confinement for vehicular manslaughter. Speaking to the elders and government officials gathered in the Nurgal District Courthouse, Asadabad Primary Court Chief Judge Mohibullah, who travelled to Nurgal for the ceremony, praised the efforts of the district judicial officials and lauded the people for their support of the process. “We must continue to work together,” Mohibullah said. “A stick by itself can be easily broken, but a bundle of sticks will remain strong.” Mohibullah went on to extol the virtues of the public judiciary system, rebuffing arguments that it was at odds with traditional tribal and Islamic law. “Islam and *rule of law+ are intertwined,” he said. “Without *rule of law+, Islam will be weakened.” Abraham Sutherland, Department of State rule of law adviser for Kunar province, was on hand for the ceremony and congratulated those in attendance during his address on their achievement. Following the ceremony, reconstruction team engineers conducted quality assurance checks of the Mazar Valley Road.

"Mismanagement is being investigated," Omar Zakhilwal said on Tuesday on the sidelines of an Afghanistan investment conference in Dubai. Hundreds of Afghans queued outside the bank in September, trying to withdraw their savings after reports that millions of dollars had been lent and poured into high-risk real estate investments in Dubai. Afghan authorities then seized operations at the bank, which is Afghanistan's biggest privately owned, following allegations that Sherkhan Farnood, the chairman, misappropriated funds. Farnood has been ordered to hand over more than $150m in luxury villas and condominiums that he allegedly bought with the bank's money for various Afghan elites, including Mahmood Karzai, the brother of the Afghan president. Zakhilwal said the lender was now under the control of the central bank but was functioning normally. "Kabul Bank has stabilised and is operating normally," he said.
