CHIVERS The Syrian rebels posed casually, standing over their prisoners with firearms pointed down at the shirtless and terrified men. The prisoners, seven in all, were captured Syrian soldiers. Five were trussed, their backs marked with red welts. They kept their faces pressed to the dirt as the rebels’ commander recited a bitter revolutionary verse. “For fifty years, they are companions to corruption,” he said. “We swear to the Lord of the Throne, that this is our oath: We will take revenge.” The moment the poem ended, the commander, known as “the Uncle,” fired a bullet into the back of the first prisoner’s head. His gunmen followed suit, promptly killing all the men at their feet.

Taliban Assassinate Prominent Female Author Who Wrote Book Detailing Her Escape From Taliban Captivity… Allahu Akbar! Via Nine News: Suspected Taliban militants have shot dead the Indian author Sushmita Banerjee, writer of a popular book about her dramatic escape from the Taliban in the 90s. Local police say she was shot multiple times and her body was found in the eastern Afghan province of Paktika. “We found her bullet riddled body near Madrassa on the outskirts of Sharan city (provincial capital) this morning,” provincial police chief Dawlat Khan Zadran said on Thursday, confirming earlier reports from Indian media. Ms Banerjee, 49, was a fairly well-known writer whose book Kabuliwala’s Bengali Wife, about her dramatic escape from the Taliban was made into a Bollywood film in 2003. Police say that the book may have been the reason militants targeted her, and that they had spoken with her husband. “Our investigation … indicates that the militants had grievances against her for something she had written or told in the past, which was then turned into a film,” the provincial police chief said. “She had been shot 20 times and some of her hair had been ripped off by the militants,” Zadran said.
