Afghan Taliban admits to killing Kandahar comic after video of capture by insurgents circulated on social media, sending ripples of outrage through Afghanistan
The insurgent group's spokesperson alleged that the comic, from the southern part of Kandahar province, was also a member of the Afghan National Police and had been implicated in the torture and killing of Taliban.
Thousands have been displaced, causing residents to question who the anti-West insurgents are fighting as foreign troops are all but gone from the country. For example, in 2001 when the US-led coalition ousted the Taliban and many surrendered, hundreds were packed into containers by troops loyal to warlord Rashid Dostum, with dozens suffocating in the brutally hot sun. Others who returned home after the Taliban defeat were often singled out for extortion by government officials.
