"At least 10 medical personnel, including six Americans, were slain in northern Afghanistan, officials confirmed Saturday.
The Taliban, through one of its spokesmen, claimed responsibility for the killings.
...A spokesman for the Taliban, Zabiullah Mujahid, claimed that the medical team were shot because they ignored an order from the insurgents to stop. Afterwards, he said, they found evidence that the group were American spies and were preaching Christianity. Speaking by cell phone, he said that they had maps showing their bases, and a Bible in Dari. Although I.A.M. is a Christian-supported group, Mr. Frans said, it does not engage in proselytizing."
