Actually, given that they weren't in any "official" uniform, they can be considered to not enjoy the same specific rights as uniformed soldiers. They could technically be considered "guerillas, spies, or saboteurs".

But that's getting into the technicalities of international law and the Geneva convention...

And the only law that's applicable right now in Kabul is "might makes right" and "do as I say, not as I do".

Otherwise known as the Law of the Jungle..
