If anyone has traveled through Kabul-Jalalabad highway he/she can easily remind of Sorubi checkpoint and Zardad Dog.

“I was accused to have Abdullah Shah as one of my commanders known as (Human Dog) but it was all the allegation, the Government of Afghanistan can launch investigation to recognize Abdullah Shah and his family members, whose commander he was, and who he was working for?
