Since the forces of Gen Abdul Rashid Dostum, backed by the Shia Muslim Hizb-e-Wahadat, took Mazar after fierce fighting last week, there have been troubling reports of massacres, looting and reprisal killings. The UN says many of its offices have been gutted by looters. A UN humanitarian spokesman in Islamabad said last Thursday that at least 100 young Pakistani volunteers gathered in a school had been massacred as Dostum's men advanced. Other UN sources say hundreds of people—Taliban and suspected collaborators among local Pashtoons—have been killed in the city. There are also reports of infighting among anti-Taliban forces as struggle over how to divide the spoils of victory begins.
