Military Responds in Kind to Beheadings
From Times Wire Reports
Afghan soldiers beheaded four Taliban fighters after guerrillas cut off the heads of an Afghan soldier and an Afghan interpreter for U.S.-led forces, a provincial commander said.
The soldier and interpreter were killed after becoming separated from a patrol in the southern province of Zabul.
Namatullah Tokhi said, “They cut off their heads with a knife, so when our forces arrested four Taliban, we cut off their heads too.”
