Tragic end for aid team in remote Afghan village
Ten members of an international Christian medical mission were gunned down in Nuristan and Badakhshan provinces while returning to Kabul after two weeks of village outreach. The Taliban claimed responsibility saying the volunteers spied and preached Christianity. Survivors included an Afghan driver who recited verses from the Quran as he pleaded for life. The group had hiked in mountains with no security personnel before the attack.
