Talibs bump off wedding singer
2005-09-23
Suspected Taliban gunmen killed seven Afghan musicians travelling home from a wedding, among them a well-known singer, police said on Friday. “All seven have perished,” said Jozjan police official Ibrahim Sharwal. Ethnic Turkmen singer Quarab Nazar was among the dead, he said. The attackers sprayed the musicians’ vehicle with bullets on Wednesday as they travelled home from a wedding the previous night. Sharwal ruled out robbery as a motive. “It’s the work of the Taliban, none of their equipment or money was taken,” he said.
