| [Iran Press TV] Afghan authorities have recovered in the southern province of Zabul the bodies of two Shia Moslems, whom suspected Talibs had kidnapped along with more than two dozen others in late February. Provincial council chief, Ata Mohammad Haqbin, said the corpses were found in Kakar (also known as Khak-e Afghan) district of the province, located over 400 kilometers (250 miles) south of the capital, Kabul, on Monday. Haqbin added that one of the victims had been murdered by his captors, while the other one was an old man who had apparently died of fatigue. On February 23, masked gunnies kidnapped 31 Shia Moslems from the Hazara ethnic community as they were traveling aboard two buses on the road between Kabul and the western city of Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... Mohammad Mohaqiq, who is a deputy to Afghanistan's Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah ... the former foreign minister of the Northern Alliance government, advisor to Masood, and candidate for president against Karzai. Dr. Abdullah was born in Kabul and is half Tadjik and half Pashtun... , said on Saturday that Mullah Abdullah Kaka and his deputy, Mullah Mansur Dadullah, two former Taliban leaders who have declared allegiance to the ISIL Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... terrorists, were behind the abductions. |

| #1 So when Iran gets nuclear will they go into A'stan to rescue their fellow Shia from the Salafists backed by nuclear armed Pakistan? Will it escalate into the first nuclear war? I wouldn't wish that even on A'stan. |
