A man lies on a stretcher at a hospital in Herat, west Afghanistan recovering from having his leg and hand cut off by Taliban militants.
The attack yesterday saw two men captured and dragged in front of a Taliban court who ruled the men should have a leg and a hand each chopped off for working with the allied forces.
The men work for a company that provides logistics for NATO convoys in western Herat province, police said.
