Talibs claim to have killed Albanians
Followup from yesterday's article.
SPIN BOLDAK, Afghanistan - A Taleban spokesman said on Monday four kidnapped foreigners had been executed on the orders of Taleban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar. The reported killing of the four comes during a wave of Taleban violence aimed at overthrowing President Hamid KarzaiĀ’s Western-backed government and forcing out foreign troops.

The Taleban said they kidnapped the four in the Afghan south on Saturday. The Taleban said three were Albanian and one was German. An official at the Ecolog services company in Kabul said four of its workers had gone missing but said they were all Albanian.

Taleban spokesman Qari Mohammad Yousuf said the four had been killed and their bodies had been dumped in the Kandahar-Helmand area of the south. There was no independent confirmation of the claim.
In other news, Mr. Yousuf has been accepted to the School of International Relations at Yale University.
