Taliban hang 70-year-old woman and her 30-year-old son
 KABUL, Afghanistan -- Suspected Taliban militants hanged a woman and her son from a tree after accusing them of spying for the government, officials said Wednesday, while the U.S. military reported killing 15 insurgents who attacked a U.S. base in eastern Afghanistan.
Akhunzada did not identify the two but said the woman's son-in-law worked for the police. After the slaying, the militants threatened to kill anyone working for the government, he said. "This hanging is totally against Islam," Akhunzada said. "They use the name of Islam to go against Islam." More Mayhem at Link Posted by: DepotGuy 2006-08-09 |
