Wow, that is indeed tragic 
Honestly, if they were missionaries who were actually trying to convert people to Christianity, I could at least understand the affront to Afghan identity. But this just seemed like some people who were trying to provide tangible help to impoverished people. Of course it could just as easily be a "cover story" by the Taliban; they might have just been civilian bystanders and been killed in one of the frequent flare-ups, and whammo, the Taliban takes credit for their deaths, saying these guys were trying to convert people. Of course, just as likely, they were targeted for just being there to begin with.
How sad
