A Christian aid group on Sunday denied accusations by the Taliban that eight foreign aid workers shot dead in Afghanistan, including a British doctor and six Americans, had been attempting to convert Muslims.
The relief workers were killed along with two Afghan colleagues on Friday while travelling back from a two-week mission to deliver medical care to remote villages in the east of the country.
A spokesman for the Taliban claimed responsibility for the killings, saying the victims had been acting as US spies and carrying Bibles translated into Dari, one of the two main languages in Afghanistan. Police said they suspected the motive was robbery.
