The manager and the worker are said to have been away from the health center for almost an hour after the 8 young men were abducted and they were at a park near where the health workers were executed.<\/p>\n

According to authorities, the young health workers were all shot in the head with an AK47.<\/p>\n

\u201d Let alone 5 armed men even 5 pickups full of armed men cannot go to the area those people were killed, the young men were killed by people who were specially trained and were shot in the head one bullet each,\u201d said an investigative authority whose name is withheld.<\/p>\n
