Obama's "Peace Partner's" Chilling Hunt, Slaughter of Med Aid Group Suspected of Christianity But Spares Muslim Driver -- Pak-trained killers 'used Facebook
This story in today's NY post is so brutal and savage, your blood will run cold. It did mine and I cannot recover myself.

This group of medical aid workers traveling in the what was considered one of the safest provinces in Afghanistan before this massacre (even billed as a future tourist spot for adventuring travelers) were tracked and murdered because the "perceived sin" of preaching Christianity.

The devout Muslim Taliban spared the driver, who dropped to his knees and recited from Koran.

"The group denied it was doing anything but rendering medical aid to the needy." But so what if they were? What kind of evil is advancing in the face of the West's cowardice?

Nothing will be done. The UN will say nothing. Free men will keep silent. Those who denounce, report or criticize such savagery are "Islamophobes" and "bigots."

Worse still, Obama is negotiating with the Taliban, his would-be peace partner. Sick. During the campaign Obama declared that Afghanistan was the war that should be fought. Iraq was the wrong war (though now he is clucking that Iraq is a feather in his cap). Obama promised he would defeat the enemy in Afghanistan. Who knew he meant by partnering with them.

Taliban's chilling hunt & slaughter Pak-trained killers 'used Facebook' to track aid group

"What's going on?"

Upstate optometrist Tom Little, 62, reportedly shouted his final words as Taliban fighters, faces covered by scarves and bodies wrapped in blankets, rushed at him and nine other charity workers.

In an account of the terrorist atrocity, the Sunday Times of London reported that the small group, led by Little, had just stopped their all-terrain vehicles after navigating a river that had washed out part of the dirt track they'd followed in Afghanistan's remote Badakhshan province.

Little, a father of three from Delmar, outside Albany, yelled his last words as the 10 masked thugs began shooting in the air.

His answer was a blow from the butt of an AK-47 -- and a bullet to the gut.

In a terrible twist, the sole survivor of the attack, driver Safiullah, said that one of the gunmen was part of a group of three that the convoy had offered to drive through the rugged terrain.

Two women with Little made a desperate bid to escape by climbing into a nearby ATV. But a Taliban goon calmly lobbed a hand grenade into the vehicle, killing them both, the newspaper reported.

The account also revealed that British aid worker Karen Woo was lashed across the face by a gunman wielding a Kalashnikov. She fell face-first onto the stony track, and the gunman shot her twice in the back.

The team's cook was fatally shot as he hid beneath an ATV.

One by one, the entire team -- Little, Woo, five other Americans, one German and two Afghans -- were wiped out.

Only their driver, who fell to his knees and recited from the Koran, was spared.

"God was good to me," Safiullah told the AP in his first interview since being released.

No, he was spared because he was a Muslim.

When the slaughter was over, one of the Taliban killers spoke Urdu into his radio.

"Mission accomplished," he coldly declared.

When news of the brutal Aug. 5 killing surfaced, the Afghanistan government initially blamed rogue bandits. But now authorities believe the deaths were anything but random, the newspaper reported.

Testimony from Safiullah has convinced Afghan officials that Little and his group were tracked and executed for the perceived sin of preaching Christianity, the paper said.

"They had made a plan," said the survivor, who suggested that the attackers may have also been after their satellite phones. "It was a very organized group."

"If it's 100 years later and I see them, I'll know them."

Little and the others were part of the Christian charity International Assistance Mission, which has denied the group was doing anything but rendering medical aid to the needy.

They day the group was ambushed, the medical workers were returning from a 120-mile trek on foot and horseback to treat villagers in the remote Nuristan region.

Intelligence sources told The Sunday Times it appears the Taliban tracked the medical team for days. Other intelligence sources said the group's Facebook page may have alerted the Taliban to the trekkers' intentions before they had reached Nuristan.

"It appears the doctors were followed across the mountain passes between Nuristan and Badakhshan by the Taliban. The information we have suggests that this was a targeted killing," an Afghan security service agent told the paper.

Some of the killers had been trained in Pakistan, police told the newspaper.

In crossing Badakhshan, Little and his other aid workers had no idea they were walking into an area rife with Taliban.
