Bodies of seven kidnapped Afghans found, signs of torture - officials - Yahoo News UK:"The apparent executions may have been punishment for working for Afghan security forces, the officials said, underscoring the growing threat of attack faced by civilians associated with local forces as foreign troops withdraw.
"They were brutally tortured and then shot dead," said Zabul deputy governor Mohammad Jan Rasulyar. "Our belief is that the Taliban killed them because they thought they were serving in the Afghan security forces."
The Taliban, ousted from power in 2001 but fighting a fierce insurgency against foreign and Afghan forces, were not immediately available for comment, but have previously said that government and security personnel were legitimate targets."
