KABUL – The Taliban denied on Monday a United Nations (UN) report of killing more than 100 members of the former Afghan government and its security forces. 

"After general amnesty, no one is allowed to harm anyone. If any revenge-taking incident reported we would investigate and punish the perpetrators," the Taliban caretaker government's spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in his twitter account.
