[DAWN] Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
murderous Moslems released 235 civilians held since seizing control of an area in northern Sari Pul province five days ago, provincial officials confirmed on Wednesday.

Zabi Amani, front man for the provincial governor, said the civilians were released after negotiations between the Taliban and tribal elders. The murderous Moslems were still holding an unknown number of civilians, he said.

Most of the civilians are staying in area mosques and some are with their relatives in the city and provincial officials are trying to provide them food and other necessities until finding a solution for the problem, he said.

Fifty two civilians including women and kiddies have been killed in Mirzawalang in Sayad district since murderous Moslems took control of the area, Amani said.

Qari Yusouf Ahmadi, a Taliban front man, grabbed credit for seizing the area, but he denied that non-combatants were killed in Mirzawalang.

According to provincial officials, this is the first time that Taliban and bully boy Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS) group fighters jointly carried out an assault. The attack left at least 52 civilians, mostly Shias and Hazaras, dead.
Hazaras are mostly Shiite, but they're of Mongol descent, so they're both religiously and racially impure.
