The Australian: Border opens as police nab kidney thieves [October 31, 2005]

The move came as police in Pakistan arrested a gang of Afghans who were caught removing kidneys from the bodies of Kashmiri earthquake victims.

The four men were discovered carrying a freezer box containing 15 organs from corpses trapped in rubble.

As aid agencies penetrate deeper into Kashmir’s most remote valleys in search of survivors, the Afghan gang and other kidney traders have been racing to find dead bodies and survivors willing to sell their own organs.

This just screams urban legend doesn’t it?
