	Reports of rape, looting by Afghan militiamen
		The family says the rapists were soldiers of Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum's army, the Junbish-e-Millie (National Movement), which has been terrorizing thousands of civilians in the northern province of Balkh since the fall of the Taliban in November.
		Although the war is over, some of Dostum's soldiers, who are mostly ethnic Uzbeks but include ethnic Tajik fighters, go out almost nightly to rob and rape Pashtuns, the ethnic group that composed most of the Taliban militia but is a minority in the north.
		Dostum's soldiers enjoy the protection of their powerful leader, and the poorly equipped, unpaid and overmatched local police force is unable to arrest those who commit crimes, conceded Amir Hamza, the Tajik police chief of Balkh, a town 12 miles west of the provincial capital, Mazar-e-Sharif.
