| Woman Protects Translator Husband, Loses Baby In Taliban Assault |
| 2015-08-26 |
| [Tolo News] The wife of a former Afghan interpreter has told how she lost the baby she was carrying after a Taliban capo punched her in the stomach with a knuckleduster when she refused to reveal the whereabouts of her husband -- a former interpreter for the British forces. Sabir, who was three months pregnant at the time, said she and her husband, along with their two children, were fleeing Khost province ... across the border from Miranshah, within commuting distance of Haqqani hangouts such as Datta Khel and probably within sight of Mordor. Khost is populated by six different tribes of Pashtuns, the largest probably being the Khostwal, from which it takes its name... after they had received death threats from the Taliban. She said the Death Eaters had threatened to kill her husband, known as Chris, for having worked for UK forces as an interpreter for three years. |
