It was the Hezbi Islami's stronghold from 1987 to 1995. A Hezb-e-Islami commander called Faryadi Zardad had his headquarters there and tortured people. He was later prosecuted in London for his crimes.[1] Surobi was the only district in Kabul province not to be part of ISAF's security transition.[2]
