AFGHANISTAN'S Taliban militia shot dead five policemen they had abducted
two months ago and strung up their bodies in trees in a village, a
provincial police chief said.
Alerted to the bodies on display, police went today to the area in
Uruzgan province and killed two rebels in a firefight, provincial police
chief Juma Gul Himat said.
The officers had been captured in Dihrawood district, where they were
also hanged, he said.
The extremist Taliban, in government between 1996 and 2001, have
executed several Afghans who work with the administration and its
international allies, putting their bodies on display as an example to
others.
