Afghanistan Orders Arrest of Vice President’s Guards in Rape and Torture Case

Afghanistan Orders Arrest of Vice President’s Guards in Rape and Torture Case - The New York Times: 
The arrest warrants, confirmed by the attorney general’s office, came after Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum, the more senior of Afghanistan’s two vice presidents, and his bodyguards refused to show up for questioning about the allegations, despite repeatedly being summoned by prosecutors. The case is testing the government’s resolve to deliver justice in the face of a potentially dangerous showdown between a powerful former warlord and the shaky coalition administration of which he is a part.
