-- KABUL, Afghanistan -- The Taliban on Friday claimed to have kidnapped 30 campaign workers, election officials and even a candidate for Parliament as Afghans prepared to vote in elections Saturday.That's some "Religion of Peace" you've got there, Mo.
In Badghis, the local Taliban commander, reached by telephone and speaking on condition of anonymity, took responsibility for kidnapping the 8 election officials and 10 campaigners. He said they would be tried by a Taliban court for their “crimes.”
Unfortunately... in Laghman Province...
...when they say "heads will roll"... it isn't simply colourful local phraseology...
