Kidnaps and Murders Could Presage ISIS-Style Slaughter in Afghanistan

Kidnaps and Murders Could Presage ISIS-Style Slaughter in Afghanistan - The Daily Beast:

On April 14, four Hazara farmers were kidnapped in Ghazni province as they were buying livestock in the local market. Gunmen reportedly beheaded the four on April 17 after local authorities rejected the kidnappers’ demands to release insurgent comrades in government custody. The killers were said to be either Taliban or followers of the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, which has been establishing a foothold in Afghanistan and may be bringing with it the same ferocious practices it has used against the Shia and Yazidis of Iraq.
