In Afghanistan, the attorney general has ordered the arrest of Vice President Abdul Rashid Dostum’s bodyguards, after another politician said the guards raped and tortured him. Dostum is one of Afghanistan’s most notorious warlords. He was backed by the CIA and on its payroll in the early 2000s. He was involved in a 2001 massacre that killed up to 2,000 Taliban prisoners of war. The victims were allegedly shot to death or suffocated in sealed metal truck containers after they surrendered to Dostum and the U.S.-backed Northern Alliance.
