Taliban Militants Behead 7 Cops In Southern Afghanistan
Taliban militants beheaded seven policemen Friday after overrunning their checkpoints in southern Afghanistan, officials said.
During Friday’s attack, the militants ambushed police checkpoints set up to keep the Taliban fighters away from the town and beheaded the policemen, said Mullah Mohammad Nabi, a purported Taliban commander in the area.
Separately, U.S.-led coalition troops clashed with militants in central Afghanistan on Thursday, killing several suspected insurgents and wounding one coalition member, the coalition said.
The troops were searching compounds in Nawur district, in Ghazni province, when militants opened fire, the statement said.
“Coalition forces returned fire, killing a number of militants,” the statement said. “There were no indications of injuries or deaths to civilians not taking part in hostilities.”
