The Taliban embassy in Islamabad announced that it had returned the bodies of five Afghans who were executed at the Iran-Pakistan border to their families.
According to a statement, these individuals were killed in Dalbandin, Balochistan, and their bodies were found hanging from electricity poles.
Earlier, health officials in Balochistan identified the victims as Dayi Khan, Rahmatullah, Samiullah, Agha Wali, and Sardar Wali. All five were originally from Lashkar Gah, the capital of Helmand Province in Afghanistan.
Pakistani police suggested that the victims might be the same individuals whose confessions were broadcasted by the militant group Jaish al-Adl on social media last month.
Early in August, Jaish al-Adl released a video showing five Afghan citizens they had detained, accusing them of involvement in the killing of one of their leaders. The group claimed these individuals had collaborated with the Iranian government.
The Taliban stated that it acted on the request of the victim’s relatives and delivered their bodies to their families in Spin Boldak.
The executed bodies were previously discovered in Chagai District, Balochistan, near the Iranian border.
No group has claimed responsibility for the killings. This incident highlights the ongoing tensions and violence in the region, reflecting the broader struggles between militant groups and state authorities.
The escalating violence and unresolved tensions continue to affect both local and cross-border communities, underscoring the need for increased security and diplomatic efforts to address these issues.
