KABUL (AFP) -- A United Nations investigation published Sunday confirmed that Taliban and Daesh militants jointly massacred dozens of people in Afghanistan earlier this month in an attack that "may amount to a war crime."
The body's mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) said it had "verified allegations" of at least 36 deaths in the predominantly Shia village of Mirzawalang in Sayad district of northern Sar-e Pul province. "These killings, corroborated by multiple credible sources, constitute violations of international humanitarian law and may amount to war crimes," UNAMA said in its report.
