Afghan Police Chief Accused of Killing 16:

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - Afghan authorities have detained a border police commander accused in the killings of 16 Pakistanis, a provincial governor said Friday.

Abdul Razzak, a police commander for the Spin Boldak border district, also has been removed from his post pending an investigation, Asadullah Khalid, governor of the southern province of Kandahar, told The Associated Press.

He would not say whether Razzak was fired, referring further questions to the Interior Ministry in Kabul, where spokesman Yousuf Stanezai refused to make any comment Friday.

Afghan authorities are investigating the killings, reported March 21, amid conflicting claims that the victims were Taliban fighters entering Afghanistan from Pakistan or Pakistani tribesmen traveling to a religious festival in northern Afghanistan.

Pakistan formally protest the killings, demanding punishment for those responsible. The killings deepened a rift in Pakistan-Afghan relations over allegations Taliban and al-Qaida forces are launching cross-border attacks inside Afghanistan.

Razzak had claimed the victims were Taliban fighters killed by his soldiers during a two-hour battle near Spinboldak, and included a mid-level Taliban commander who for months had allegedly led cross-border raids from secret bases on the Pakistani side of the frontier.

However, Saqib Aziz, a Pakistani government official in the neighboring town of Chaman, alleged the victims were Pakistanis from the Noorzai tribe and killed because of a blood feud with Razzak's clan.
