IS fighters kill 7 abductees in southern Afghanistan: police

Xinhua, November 8, 2015 Adjust font size:

Militants loyal to the so-called Islamic State group known as Daesh have killed seven abducted people in the southern Zabul province, provincial police chief Mir Wais Noorzai said Sunday.

"The Daesh insurgents abducted seven innocent civilians from Ghazni province one month ago and beheaded them Saturday night in Arghandab district of Zabul province," Noorzai told Xinhua.

Their bodies have been taken to Shah Joi district and would be handed to their relatives, the official said.

Daesh fighters who are more extreme and more cruel than the Taliban militants, placed 10 captured civilians on explosive device and detonated them in a mountainous village of the eastern Nangarhar province couple of months ago. Enditem
