al Reuters reports.

MAZAR-I-SHARIF, Afghanistan (Reuters) - Afghan authorities are hunting a militia commander over the kidnap and rape of an 11-year-old girl whose family was given a dog and some cash as compensation.

The girl, who had also been previously raped by the man and some of his comrades, has been missing for almost a month, relatives and neighbors in a village in the northern province of Kunduz said on Friday.

The day after she disappeared, a messenger from the commander, named only as Mahmud, gave the family some cash and a dog, normally regarded as unclean in Islamic societies.
