The Taliban have sentenced the brother of an Afghan translator to death after accusing him of aiding US forces, CNN which obtained the letters sent by the terrorists to the man, reported on Monday.
 
"You have been accused of helping the Americans. You are also accused of providing security to your brother, who has been an interpreter," the Taliban wrote in one of the letters to the Afghan man.
 
In the last letter the Taliban said that since the man ignored an order to appear for a hearing, he was "guilty in absentia" and, thus, to be sentenced to death.
