A Bruce Lee impersonator is gaining Internet stardom in Afghanistan, thanks to his Facebook page and imitations of famous Bruce Lee moves and poses.

I want to be a champion in my country and a Hollywood star, Abbas Alizada, or Bruce Hazara, as his Facebook page calls him, told Reuters.

Alizada trains twice a week to achieve his goal. From a poor family of 10 children, Alizadas parents couldnt afford to send him to a martial arts academy, but a trainer mentored him anyway. Now, he wants to make it to the big screen and bring some good press to Afghanistan in the process.

The only news that comes from Afghanistan is about war I am happy that my story is a positive one, Alizada said.

Flagler Beach veteran John Russo reunited with Bones, the dog he was separated from for two years after he deployed to Afghanistan.

PALM COAST One of the best Christmas presents Army veteran John Russo ever received was a little puppy he named Bones. But the even greater gift was being reunited with his dog after being separated from her for about two years.

I never ever thought Id see her again, Russo said Wednesday, noting that hes been overwhelmed by media attention over the reunion, including an appearance on ABCs Good Morning America.

Russo, 27, was separated from his dog when he was deployed to Afghanistan in 2012 for a year, plus an additional year after his return. He left the dog in the care of a former friend and didnt know what happened to Bones afterward.

Russo said he decided he was ready to get a new dog and began checking the Flagler Humane Society website when he spotted a picture of Bones. The 6-year-old American bulldog was indeed the same dog he had been forced to leave behind.

He came in like everybody does, and said, Im here to see a dog, Melissa Rock, who handled the adoption, said Thursday.

Rock was puzzled when Russo said he specifically wanted to see Bones, who had recently been adopted and returned after one day.

Bones was originally surrendered to the shelter in Palm Coast on Sept. 11.

She was crazy, Rock recalled. She was jumping all the way up, all four feet off the ground, kissing him. Ive never seen her do that.

Russo doesnt know where Bones has been since he was deployed.

The U.S. military shut its last detention center in Afghanistan on Wednesday, a day after a Senate Intelligence Committee report highlighted torture of terrorism suspects at former CIA-run prisons in the country.

The U.S. military shuttered its prison at Bagram air base north of Kabul after handing over two Tunisian prisoners to Afghan authorities, and after releasing a Jordanian prisoner, who will be sent home or resettled with the help of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Pentagon officials said.

Under a bilateral security agreement that takes effect Jan. 1, the government of Afghanistan will be responsible for all detention facilities in the country. The Bagram facility thus closed three weeks earlier than it might have.

The Tunisians, Ridha Ahmad Najjar, (also known as Redha al-Najar) and Lutfi al-Arabi al-Gharisi, will be imprisoned by Afghan authorities. The Jordanian, Taheer Halaf, is not considered a security threat and was set free in Afghanistan, officials said.

In a statement, Mark Wright, a Pentagon spokesman, said that the last three prisoners in U.S. custody were transferred after careful review by the Defense and State Departments.

Effective Dec. 10, 2014, the Defense Department no longer operates detention facilities in Afghanistan or maintains custody of any detainees, he said.
