3. Biodata:
sabarai_amir_khanHaji Amir Khan Sabree Sabarai Sabri was born 1962 in Sabri District, Khost Province. He is reported to have studied through ninth grade and be linked with Hizb-e Islami. In 2005 he ran as a candidate in the parliamentary elections in Khost, winning 9,603 votes (5.2%). This was the second highest total in the province behind Sayed Mohammad Gulabzoi, and thus sufficient to earn him a seat in the Wolesi Jirga,  Sabri was in India for medical reasons in mid-December 2008 when ISAF forces searched his home in Sabri, taking pistols and three Kalashnikovs. This incident was strongly condemned by other MPs, including Speaker Younus Qanooni. Sabri ran for reelection in 2010 but did not win one of Khost's five seats in the Wolesi Jirga, receiving only 753 votes .

He was a member of the Committee on Dispatches and Communications in Wolesi Jirga 2005.
