Taliban’s local officials announced the discovery of a "mass grave" near Sheikh Zayed University in Khost province.

The Taliban have said that about a hundred bodies had been buried in this grave.

Radio Television Afghanistan, controlled by the Taliban, reported on Tuesday that the grave had been discovered during the digging of a water storage dam.
