Taliban Murders Four Water Treatment Workers

This morning the news was that one German and three Albanians in Afghanistan would be murdered for helping rebuild the water system there.

Reuters : Omar's order was read by telephone late on Sunday to a Reuters reporter at the border town of Spin Boldak, in Kandahar province.
"These people had come to Afghanistan at America's behest, therefore they should be sentenced to death," Taliban spokesman Qari Mohammad Yousuf quoted the order as saying.
Earlier on Sunday, Yousuf had said four Albanians and four Afghans were being held.
But he later said the four Afghans, two of them drivers, had been released, and identified the foreigners as three Albanians and a German.

Shortly afterward I see news that these men were Murdered and their bodies dumped along the road accounding to Taliban “spokesman” terrorist Qari Mohammed Yousef.

BBC : The Taleban spokesman said the four foreigners had been shot dead.
"We will kill any one who is helping the Americans," he told the BBC.
One of the freed Afghans said they had been stopped by a group of 20 men dressed as police as they left Helmand for Kabul on Saturday morning.
"They tied our hands and feet and blindfolded us," the man, who did not wish to be named, told the BBC.
"They took the Albanians away from us to another location. We heard firing and the Albanians screaming. We couldn't see any thing because our eyes were closed."
Ecolog, the company the men worked for, is a German firm that treats dirty water at US and Afghan army bases.

Yes purifying water is an offense worthy of such a sentence by a one eyed no longer in power madman. Of course this is an attempt by the Taliban to show they have power to steal a bit of legitimacy by fear. Maybe if old one eye had actually thought about the welfare of the people of Afghanistan rather than looking for the next Budda to blow up he would not find himself committing murder for attention. Wait a minute, of course he would be that's what they do.
