Taliban Claim to Have Kidnapped 50 Afghani Policemen

How nice of the Taliban to kidnap Afghan police, people that are just trying to help out the country.
The rejects of Islam will probably kill these guys, and the rest of the country and the Afghan Government will stick their heads in the sand.

KABUL, Afghanistan -- The Taliban claimed Sunday that it kidnapped 50 Afghan policemen in northeastern Afghanistan -- part of the insurgents' murder and intimidation campaign against anyone affiliated with the U.S.-backed government.

Militants ambushed the policemen Saturday afternoon after being tipped off that they would be traveling in Kunar province, Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said in an emailed statement to reporters. The policemen from Nuristan province had just finished their training to join the Afghan National Police, he said.

Kunar provincial police chief Gen. Khalilullah Ziayi confirmed that militants stopped four vehicles in Chapa Dara district and captured several dozen men. He did not know the exact number and said it was unclear whether all were members of the Afghan National Police or prospective recruits.

In the past, the Taliban have apprehended other policemen in Nuristan and other parts of the country, but then released them if they promised not to work with the police or the Afghan government, Mujahid said. This time, top Taliban military commanders in eastern Afghanistan will decide the policemen's fate after assessing the situation on the ground, he said.
