| [Tolo News] Talibs hanged five civilians on Friday morning in Kajaki district of Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... province, according to local officials. The Ministry of Interior (MoI) said that Lions of Islam hanged the five civilians at 10:00 am on Friday in the Gandum Rez village. "Unfortunately, the Taliban again hanged five civilians accused of spying for the government in front of people at 10:00 a.m. in a village of Helmand province," said Najeeb Danesh, the Deputy Spokesperson for the Ministry of Interior. A number of representatives from Helmand confirmed the incident but said that the individuals killed were actually members of the Taliban who had failed to do their jobs properly during the Sangeen district operation. "Based on the information that I have, and I have spoken to local people, these people were Taliban members who had failed to target the Sangeen district governor so the Taliban hanged them in front of people so that others learn from them," Helmand MP Abdul Hay Akhundzada said. This incident took place after Talibs recently rubbed out 16 civilians in Sar Jungle district of Ghor province, including a newly married couple. |
