The victims were members of an Afghan Special Forces unit: their executioners, the Taliban. The summary killings took place on June 16 in the town of Dawlat Abad in Faryab province, close to Afghanistan's border with Turkmenistan.
CNN has obtained and verified several videos of the incident and has spoken with witnesses. Videos show the commandos' bodies strewn across an outdoor market. After a fierce battle to hold the town, the commandos had run out of ammunition and were surrounded by the Taliban fighters, witnesses said...
In a statement to CNN Wednesday, Afghan Ministry of Defence spokesperson Fawad Aman said the executions constitute a "war crime."
According to several witnesses interviewed by CNN in Dawlat Abad, the commandos were shot in cold blood. One man said the commandos arrived in the town with several tanks but ran out of ammunition after two hours of fighting and received no support from the air. "The commandos were surrounded by the Taliban. Then they brought them into the middle of the street and shot them all," the witness said.
He also suggested some Taliban fighters were not from the region and may have been foreign because he could not understand what they were saying when they spoke between themselves.
A second witness -- a shopkeeper in the bazaar where the shooting took place -- agreed some of the Taliban sounded foreign

But they are not the only Afghans who can get nasty.
I'd bet my bottom dollar that the old Militias are getting the band back together, and soon each heinous war crime will be rewarded in kind.
One of the Commandos executed was the son of Afghan General Hazir Azimi. I reckon he will have his revenge, and many others will be seeking theirs as well.
Note: This war crimes video of the executions is already a month old.
hey if stuff goes south here
you better dam well do the same to anyone that attempted to kill you but ran out of ammo
nothings changed except they ran out of ammo
in the above scenario i’d prefer the taliban to be the ones that ran out of ammo, however
Horrible
Islam is as Islam does.
Not sure about this. Whoever heard of this large a team of COMMANDOS trying to all surrender together?
This does not sound like COMMANDO behavior. Maybe the got defective command training and worse.
Reminds of the parable of the scorpion and the frog.
Scorpion: “What did you expect? It’s what I do.”
We shouldn't judge people who are different.
Joe Biden won the election fair and square.
You oblivously left the Sarc tag off.
We should be hitting Talibab concentrations with napalm and FAEs.
If dumbshit Biden had not given up Bagrahm we could be doing that.
Why does the U.S. always elect leadership that cuts and runs?
It’s our despicable civ politicians.
Didn’t want us gone!!!
20 years was plenty of time.
That’s what I said six months would have been more than enough!!!
.....indeed....!!! who could have seen this coming....???? I feel very sorry for any Afghan and his/her family who threw in their lot with the Americans and hoped for a better future....
U.S.A to South Vietnam 1972 - “don’t worry, we’ve got your backs...!! just trust us....”
U.S.A to South Vietman 1975 - “who are you people again...? what relationship do we have with you...??” ....
The Land of the Savage
Get shot now or get beheaded later … I’d say they were lucky, all things considered.
No global protests against these war crimes.
You know who else the Taliban executes? Bacha Bazi boy-f*ckers and poppy growers.
Connect the dots...To the opium poppy fields? Where are we on those? Come on, man!
Maybe Biden Admin can invite the U.N. to investigate after they complete their investigation of America at Admin’s invitation......read with dripping sarcasm!!
