Iranian border forces shoot dead four Afghan youths

HERAT CITY: Iranian border police shot dead four Afghan youths in Kohsan district of the western Herat province, officials said.
Col. Rahmatullah Safi, chief of the 4th Border Brigade Police, told Pajhwok Afghan News the slain youths were aged between 15 to 17 years. He added hundreds of infuriated residents of Kohsan marched from the district headquarters building to the Islam Qala border, closing the highway for several hours.
"The residents demanded the dead bodies from Iranian police but were yet to receive them," said Safi, who continued the protestors torched tyres, blocked roads and chanted anti-Iran slogans.
