KABUL - Two men were detained in Kandahar City when they attempted to pass through a checkpoint without identification by bribing Afghan National Civil Order Police.
The men were traveling in a taxi and refused to show identification. The ANCOP questioned the taxi driver who stated that the men were Pakistani citizens and had offered a bribe for him to conceal their identity and let them pass. The officers refused and immediately detained them for further questioning.
"The ANCOP working in Kandahar City are proud of their mission to protect the people and help bring security to Kandahar," said Capt. John Thomas, commander of Company D, 1st Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, whose unit is partnered with the ANCOP officers at Checkpoint 7-10. "They do not accept bribes because they believe in what they are doing."
