Afghan president postpones handover of US prison
The Afghan president has extended by one month the deadline for the transfer of the main American military prison in the country.              

Thursday's statement from President Hamid Karzai's office says the United States has until March 9 to transfer authority of the prison to the Afghan government.             

It is located outside Bagram Air Base, a main NATO base outside the capital Kabul.             

The statement says the delay was due to a lack of cooperation from the U.S. side. There was no comment from the U.S.-led international coalition.             

The prison holds 3,000 detainees, including Afghans and foreign insurgents, and was to have been handed over on Feb. 5.
