You may or may not have heard of the kidnapping of Korean aid workers in Afghanistan by Pushtun Taliban. Apparently this act actually violates a very important cultural principle in Pushtun culture which could even lead to difficulties for the kidnappers among their own people-group.

Taliban leaders: honour the code:
