SIX of nine Afghans employed by a local US-contracted building company and kidnapped earlier this week were found shot dead today.

The six were among a group taken hostage on Tuesday in Logar province in the south of the war-torn country. The fate of three others kidnapped at the same time remains unknown, Abdul Khalil Kamal, governor of Charkh district said.

"Six Afghan civilian workers were found dead this morning in Charkh district of Logar province," he said, adding that they were killed overnight and their bodies were left along the roadside in two separate areas.

The nine Afghans were kidnapped on September 6 by the Taliban while they were on their way to work for a local construction company subcontracted by the US army, Mr Kamal said, without giving the name of the company.

1. I am not surprised, for people from that region of the planet have played it for keeps...

since the beginning of recorded history.

If I'm an Afghan citizen, I would not want to live the Taliban way, but I would still want to live. Therefore, I would not be doing a whole lot of business with the US/Afghanistan administrations. For I would know that the Taliban will still be here when the policeman moves on to the next bad neighborhood.
