This story was printed from channelnewsasia.com Taliban extremists execute foreign aid worker in central Afghanistan 28 March 2003 1606 hrs (SST) http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/southasia/view/35995/1/.ht ml Taliban extremists have "executed in cold blood" a foreign aid worker in central Afghanistan, government officials said Friday. The 39-year-old Salvadoran national was attacked in central Oruzgan province on Thursday while working for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The victim was working on a project to improve water supplies in the town of Tehrin Kot, according to a statement released Thursday by the ICRC in Geneva. "The ICRC representative, a Swiss citizen of Salvadoran origin, was the only foreigner in a convoy of two vehicles travelling from the southern city of Kandahar to Oruzgan province," said Oruzgan governor Jan Mohammad. "The attackers pulled out the only foreigner in the convoy and in front of Afghan ICRC staff, executed him in cold blood with Kalashnikovs, calling him an infidel and unbeliever," Mr Mohammad said. "No one else was killed, all the Afghans were spared. These were Talibans and supporters of al-Qaeda who committed this murder. They set fire to one of the two vehicles and stole the other to make their escape," he said. Their convoy was travelling shortly after a three-vehicle government motorcade of Oruzgan officials heading in the other direction was attacked on the same spot, apparently by the same group of assailants, Mr Mohammad said. The three vehicles were torched, but the passengers escaped. -- Outgoing mail is certified virus free Scanned by Norton AntiVirus <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
