“A private jet, which Afghan officials suspected was bringing back embattled Vice President Rashid Dostum from Turkey, was turned away when it tried to land in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif, officials said on Tuesday. Dostum, who flew to Turkey in May for medical treatment, has been facing accusations that he ordered a political rival to be detained and tortured in a case that drew strong condemnation from the Kabul government’s international backers, including the United States.”
