13. That might be the reason, but at a dump?

After the end of the War in Vietnam the US Army did a study on why the US Army failed, one of the reason was that the Viet Cong had become dependent on US dumps for much of their own supplies. US troops tended to do a lot of waste, batteries were replaced before any mission and thrown away, The Viet Cong used these almost dead batteries to provide electrical charges to the home made bombs they made and used against the US army.

Thus, the killing may be telling the natives NOT to deal with the Government, but also not to touch a Taliban Supply point. Possible, but why do it so close to a Check Point? It would be a way to tell everyone that Check point is meaningless.

While this is a POSSIBLE reason for this killing, I lean to it being someone else. I can NOT exclude this possibility but why kill someone you can use to get stuff from the dump? Thus possible but not probable,
