Eight foreign aid workers, arrested on charges of spreading Christianity in Muslim Afghanistan, were forced by Taliban officials to go with them as they fled Kabul early Tuesday ahead of advancing opposition forces, a jail guard said. The defendants include two U.S. women, two Australians and four Germans.
"I saw them with my own eyes. They put them in the truck and then left at midnight. They said they are going to Kandahar," said Ajmal Mir, a guard at the abandoned detention center in the heart of the city where the eight had been held. Bureau Report
