21
KABUL: Taliban have beheaded 12 civilians and torched some 60 homes in an assault on security forces in the eastern Ghazni province, an Afghan official said.
The province's deputy police chief Asadullah Ensafi said the Taliban have attacked several villages over the past week in the Arjistan district.
He said on Thursday night they captured and beheaded 12 family members of local and national police and burned down 60 homes. He added that the battle was still raging.
Ensafi said the Taliban also detonated a car bomb in front of an encampment where some 40 police were posted.
He said it was not immediately possible to reach the area to ascertain casualties because the insurgents had mined the roads.

@Rahim When one has cancer one tries to treat it, not cut that part of the body and throw it away. Why come the USA wants dialogue with Iran and North Korea when the same USA called them axes of evil after 9/11. Dialogue is the first step and if it doesn't work use plan B.

@Manoj : They will never do and they never done, not just in Pakistan but also elsewhere. Is Akbar Owaisi in India showing any concerns for flood victims in Meghalaya or for that matter at other places in the past? But he seems very concerned about J&K floods !
