Investigators learned of the deaths and abuse during interviews with asylum seekers in Kabul, the group's director, Phil Glendenning, said. "We believe they were killed, shot or bombed after returning," he told The Australian newspaper.

In other words, they have no clue what happened to any of them, but were willing to take the word of people who had an obvious personal interest in convincing Australians that they (the new batch of asylum seekers in Kabul, who for all we know are Taliban plants) must be allowed to stay in comfy digs Down Under.

"We believe they were killed, shot or bombed

So which was it?

Were they killed?

Were they shot and survived?

Were they shot and died?

Were they bombed and survived?

Were they bombed and died?

And what is the 'we believe' part? For all we know this guy believes the moon is made of green cheese. I don't care what he 'believes'. If he knows for a fact, that's different. I still wouldn't care, but it would be different.

But he offers absolutely no evidence for his 'beliefs'.

The reporter who wrote this story is completely incompetent. There's not a single follow up question asked, just a regurgitation of this Glendenning fellows 'beliefs'.
