KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (Reuters) - Taliban guerrillas said on Tuesday they had killed a Turk kidnapped last month after the Turkish construction company he worked for ignored an ultimatum to leave Afghanistan.
A Taliban spokesman, Qari Mohammad Yousuf, said the Taliban had shot dead the Turk he identified as Mustapha in the southern province of Helmand.

The Turk, who worked for a security firm, was abducted on August 28 in an ambush in Helmand. A Turkish engineer with the Ankara-based Kolin Insaat construction company was killed in the ambush, Turkish officials said.

The Turkish embassy in Kabul said it was trying to check the Taliban claim.
