AsiaNews: The nine Afghans killed yesterday in the northern province of Balkh worked for a Czech humanitarian organization. The assault, believed to have been led by the Taliban – but there are still no claims – is a confirmation of the increasing number of casualties in Afghanistan since the beginning of 2015, while a study has estimated over 100 thousand deaths since 2001.
The overnight massacre involved eight men and a woman, belonging to the “People in Need” organization which was developing projects for the government’s agricultural development program. More on this here.
