Video has emerged that purports to show the moment 22 Afghan commandos were massacred by the Taliban moments after they surrendered. The footage appears to have been taken in Dawlat Abad, in northern Faryab province, on June 16 following a major battle between the Taliban and Afghan forces. 'The other forces betrayed the commandos,' an anonymous official told Stars and Stripes magazine at the time. The Red Cross has confirmed that the bodies of 22 commandos were recovered after the fighting. They have handed control to the Afghan army, which is struggling to maintain control in the face of a lighting-fast Taliban offensive.
