KANDAHAR (SW) \u2013 The Taliban have abducted at least 300 people in southern Kandahar province on charges of collaborating with the government, local officials said on Friday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to a well-placed source, after the Taliban took control of Spin Boldak district, at least 300 people were evicted from their homes, some of whom were killed and others are still missing.<\/p>\n

Fida Mohammad Afghan, a member of the Kandahar Provincial Council, was among those whose two sons, Shah Mahmood and Mohammad Khan, were evicted from their homes a few days ago and whose bullet-riddled bodies were later found.<\/p>\n

He said the Taliban had launched a \u2018massacre\u2019 in the Spin Boldak district and that young men were still being evicted from their homes every night.<\/p>\n

A Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, denied it. In a voice message to Salam Watandar, he said Fida Mohammad Afghan\u2019s matter was a \u2018personal feud\u2019. He said the Taliban was investigating to bring the killers to justice.<\/p>\n

In addition to Spin Boldak, in Dand, Panjwai, Kandahar City and a number of other districts recently captured by the Taliban, some people are claiming that some residents are being evicted at night and their bodies are being found later.<\/p>\n

Such incidents have left Kandaharis deeply concerned who are urging the international community and humanitarian watchdogs to pay serious attention to the issue.<\/p>\n
