Yar Mohammed, one of the village elders, insisted it isn't a matter of discrimination.
Zar Gul sets out to destroy Yar Badshah and expose the criminal elements behind him.
For example, Nazi troops murdered 34, 000 Jews at Babi Yar, Ukraine in September 1941.

His mother slipped out of Russia leaving an extended family that was wiped out at Babi Yar.
Yar Mohammad, a resident of Wana who witnessed the attack, told the Associated Press news agency that the blast was huge.
Yar's round little face was still defiant, though now fringed with fear.
In 2009, then-Nigerian President Musa Yar Adua granted an amnesty to thousands of militants wreaking havoc in the oil-rich Niger Delta in the south.
Many insiders described her as the alternate president, more so when Mr Yar'Adua fell ill and was admitted to hospital in Saudi Arabia in 2009.
"It's just a mark of appreciation from the good people of Nigeria, " Yar'Adua said during a state reception in the country's capital Abuja on Saturday.

When villain Yar Badshah meets and browbeats his jittery backers, the mood is pure film noir - all hard lights, deep shadows and coughing smokers.
After nearly seven weeks away from home, apparently in a hospital in Saudi Arabia, Nigeria's president, Umaru Yar'Adua, broke his silence in a radio interview.
On February 10th, chairing his first cabinet meeting, he had the confidence to reshuffle some of the ministers known to be allies of Mr Yar'Adua.

Agar stepped closer, throwing a crisp shadow over Yar's tiny body.
Before he was unexpectedly chosen to succeed Olusegun Obasanjo, Mr Yar'Adua, a former chemistry teacher, was a little-known governor of the remote northern state of Katsina.
Among the presidents, Pakistan's Pervez Musharraf, Afghanistan's Hamid Karzai, Israel's Shimon Peres, Colombia's Alvaro Uribe, Nigeria's Umaru Yar'Adua and Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, are likely to draw attention.
In order to provide an air of legitimacy for his administration, Yar'Adua must get a handle on current conflicts and simmering tensions located throughout the country.
The Nigerian feds have been investigating, and in August the press reported that new President Umar Musa Yar'Adua was considering the revocation of some recently granted licenses.
This might be possible considering that unlike his predecessor, Yar'Adua has the temperament to make as much concession as is reasonable and necessary to accommodate the opposition.
Agar and Agum and even Yar shared a giggle that offered ample evidence that the two of them had discussed me and my mental state at great length.
Yar'Adua unfortunately will not have that luxury and will have to address this issue directly if he wants to start establishing peace and security in his failing state.
Some proposed new members had been sidelined under Mr Yar'Adua.
At that moment, the two older girls seemed suddenly to take notice anew of the youngest, Yar, and they looked upon her like a thorn stuck to their collective heel.
Past president Olusegun Obasanjo is the first Nigerian head of state to hand over power at the end of his constitutional mandate to the newly democratically elected president Umaru Musa Yar'Adua.
The property was taken from her after the death of President Umaru Yar'Adua in 2010 and given to the current First Lady, Patience Jonathan, in her capacity as the new AFLPM head.
In the Niger Delta region, his homeland, where militants have long campaigned for a greater share of their land's oil revenues, he vowed to build on Mr Yar'Adua's amnesty of last summer.

Moreover, it increased the anger of many Nigerians, who asked why Mr Yar'Adua gave his first public statement in almost two months to the Western media rather than to the press at home.
But Mr Yar'Adua's admirers say his deliberative style is right for a country with a feeble infrastructure and an array of problems that cannot be solved simply by having oil cash thrown at them.
Despite continuing calls by disgruntled opposition candidates and an array of foreign observers for last month's Nigerian presidential election to be run again, Umaru Yar'Adua was certified by the electoral commission to have won.
If Yar'Adua wants to continue Obasanjo's mission to increase the economy while decreasing the violence, he will have to arrange peace talks between the militant groups from the Delta, the oil companies, and the Nigerian government.
The fall in tax revenues, as a result of illegal bunkering and the sabotage of pipelines, means that Mr Yar'Adua has even less chance of tackling his country's other problems, such as a chronic lack of electricity.
