| Suspected Taliban militants shot dead and burned a Turkish engineer in an area of western Afghanistan where two other foreigners were killed last week, a provincial governor said Monday. The gunmen stopped a vehicle carrying the engineer and three Afghan bodyguards on a remote highway in Farah province Sunday evening, the governor of neighbouring Nimroz told AFP. "Armed Taliban in a station wagon stopped their vehicle, forced them out of the vehicle, disarmed his three bodyguards and shot the Turkish engineer," said governor Ghulam Dastageer Azad. "Later they poured fuel over his body and burned him."
Two foreign nationals were killed in the area on Tuesday last week when a remote-controlled bomb hit their vehicle. Three Afghans were also killed. | |

| #1 Hummmm, isn't that un-islamic? Or is it un-islamic only when Americans do it? When a jihadi burns a body is is called preparing meat for dinner 'cause the goat or sheep is more useful alive. |
