The victims were killed deliberately and arbitrarily in their homes, in the streets, where the bodies were left for several days, in contravention of Islamic doctrine that the dead must be buried within 24 hours. Most of those killed were civilians, including women, children and the elderly who were shot trying to flee the city.

A little reading on the subject seems to be called for.

BTW, the Taliban are ethnic Pashtuns and many are of Pakistani origin.

As for your comments about AQ, they are not even worth the effort to respond to.
