US soldiers accused of Taliban burning again
By Rahimullah Yusufzai
PESHAWAR: While the US military is busy investigating media reports that its
troops put bodies of two Taliban on fire in Kandahar province in October,
there are now fresh allegations that American soldiers burnt alive two more
Taliban fighters in Zabul.
The second incident reportedly took place around a week ago in Kharnay
village in Khak-i-Afghan district of Zabul province. Details are becoming
available now that villagers from the area have reached Kandahar and the
Pakistani border town of Chaman in Balochistan province.
Haji Abdul Aziz, who belongs to Khak-i-Afghan district, told The News that a
number of villagers witnessed the burning alive of Taliban fighters
Mohibullah and Sibghatullah. He said the two men were unarmed when the US
Army and Afghan National Army soldiers caught them in Kharnay village. He
said the Americans sprinkled petrol on the two men and torched them before
shocked onlookers. He said the soldiers kept sayng that anyone fighting them
would meet the same fate.
According to Haji Abdul Aziz, one Mulla Abdul Salam from the same village
was tortured by burning different parts of his body. He said Abdul Salam was
alive but his condition was bad. He said Abdul Salam was now undergoing
treatment in Chaman.
This is the first time that allegations of such a serious nature have been
made against the US military, which is already under fire for prisoners'
abuse in Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay and Iraq's Abu Ghraib jail. The
existence of CIA-run secret prisons in several countries including
Afghanistan has also put the US government and its intelligence in the dock.
