28 Policemen Killed

The Taliban have killed 28 paramilitary policemen in fighting in southern Afghanistan, officials said Wednesday, the latest losses in an ongoing siege of a government-controlled district that could tip into insurgent hands.

It took over three hours for the police in Rajasthan to take a mob attack victim to a hospital just 20 minutes away. Rakbar Khan, 28, bled to death as policemen, before taking him to hospital, arranged a shelter for his cows and paused for tea and snacks. They even gave the wounded man a wash, claiming he was "too muddy".

Two policemen were arrested for their alleged role in custodial killing of 28-year-old Nazim Rashid. Rashid, 28, had died in a police camp in Sopore, in Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday, hours after the police picked him up, to question him about his alleged role in the killing of a civilian.
