Officials said the young shepherd, Mohammad Zaher, was kidnapped by the Taliban in Keshm, a district in Badakhshan province, and after a couple of days his decapitated body was found in the district. But chief of criminal investigation for Badakhshan province rejected the shepherd's connection with any sort of spy activities.
The Taliban "are usually active in areas belonging to Keshm and Tagab districts and they are usually doing things like that of Mohammad Zaher," Chief of Criminal Investigation for Badakhshan province Fazl Ahmad Nazari said.
Badakhshan located in far north eastern part of the country is a relatively peaceful province, but recently there have been reports of some bad turban activity in some parts of the province. |
