Taliban: No Doctors for Sick Hostages

The Taliban has refused access to a team of Afghan doctors who volunteered to treat two seriously ill S. Korean hostages. Via Monsters and Critics:

The rebels did not trust the doctors, spokesman Qari Mohammad Yusif Ahmadi told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa.

If the hostages died because they had received the wrong treatment, then the Taliban would be held responsible for their deaths, he said.

Ahmadi had said on Wednesday that two of the abducted women were so ill they could die.

The Taliban had no medicine for them, he said.

Never mind that the Taliban would be responsible for their deaths in any case, since they were the ones who kidnapped them. We've already seen how successful the Taliban's treatment of sick captives is. Just ask Bae Hyung-kyu and Ruediger Diedrich. Korean Hostage Archive
