 KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Thousands of former fighters, including top government figures, rallied Friday to support a proposed amnesty for Afghans suspected of war crimes.
Some former fighters called for the death of those demanding prosecution of warlords who were involved in a quarter-century of fighting, first against the Soviet Union and then among themselves.
About 25,000 people, many holding pictures of leaders of the mujahedeen, or holy warriors, flocked to Kabul's National Stadium as thousands of police deployed throughout the city.
