Then he loaded all of their weapons into a pickup truck and drove off into the night.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The motive for the killing was not known, but police in the area blamed the Taliban for the attack. Paktika is a stronghold of the Haqqani network, a Pakistani-based group with ties to the Taliban and al-Qaida. Although they mostly attack U.S.-led coalition forces, they have often carried out assaults and bombings against the Afghan army and police.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This man is a coward. What he did is part of the Taliban conspiracy,&#8221; Khan said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Oh, I see. When it&#8217;s Afghans killing US troops, there&#8217;s no conspiracy, but when they kill each other, it&#8217;s a Taliban conspiracy.
