Mujahed said the group consisted of nine foreigners - five men and four women - and an Afghan national.

They were carrying Persian-language Bibles, a satellite tracking device and maps, he added.

Director Dirk Frans believes the foreigners were medics who had been volunteering for his International Assistance Mission charity at an eye hospital in Nuristan.

He said the group of five American men and three women - an American, Briton and German - had decided to drive through Badakhshan to Kabul as they thought it would be the safest route. (Sky News)

We went into a camp to inoculate some children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there, and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms.

Evildoers who serve their god (Satan) only appear to have prevailed. God has the last Word.

According to the story on Yahoo News, the Taliban claimed that they were killed because they were acting as “American Spies and Preaching Christianity”

“Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid told The Associated Press that they killed the foreigners because they were “spying for the Americans” and “preaching Christianity.”

Yep, we always send in people who want to help sick children in someplace to spy. And since they were a “Christian” backed unit, why would the Talibat’s think they were preaching Christianity?

“The third Afghan who survived “told me he was shouting and reciting the holy Quran and saying ‘I am Muslim. Don’t kill me,”

I hate to say it, but, if these “people” don’t want Western help, then don’t give it to them. Let them figure it out all on their own. I hear mountain grass makes a great meal...

So much for winning hearts and minds. These uncivilized heathens neither need nor deserve our help. Leave them to their own savagery before one more American hero sacrifices his or her blood on this lost cause.

International Assistance Mission slayings: part of Taliban war strategy

"The execution-style killings of 10 people working for a Christian medical team in a remote region of northern Afghanistan fit into Taliban insurgents' stated shift in tactics: Target Western civilians, especially Christians, as "foreign invaders."

We knew the team leader, Tom Little. He has worked in Afghanistan for thirty years - through the years of the Soviet occupation and then the Taliban. He ran a optical clinic in Kabal when we knew him. During the Soviet occupation his neighbors would hide them in their houses from the Russian soldiers when they paroled. His wife once told me that once while she was home on furlough she started to be very anxious about all the danger Tom was in and worry about him. In God’s providence, she got into what should have been a fatal auto accident but miraculously came out alive. As the doctor was explaining to her how lucky she was, all she could think of was that if the Lord could protect from this danger in the USA, He was more than able to do the same for her husband. There is danger everywhere and it is only by God’s grace we live or die. It would seem the Lord saw fit to take him home this time.

Either let out military forces win, or get them out of there.

Says they were killed execution style

Means that they were beheaded.

God rest their souls.
