Reports have emerged from Takhar province, detailing a heinous incident in which an unidentified woman fell victim to a brutal beheading by assailants in the region.
According to local sources, on Saturday, August 5th, a woman identified as Masouma was tragically subjected to this gruesome act. The assailants responsible for this horrifying crime remain unidentified, and the incident occurred in the village of Jilamkhor, located within the Khaja Ghar district of Takhar province.
The victim’s husband, Abdullah Qezel, resides in the same village of Jilamkhor.
Might be the Taliban, might be an honour killing, might be a clan or other feud, might be the Afghan version of dacoits. It might even be just because it was Tuesday, and someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
While the identities of the assailants are yet to be determined, speculation has arisen linking this incident to the Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban.... This conjecture stems from the grim nature of the act and suggests a potential association of the group with the woman’s tragic demise.
This brutal event unfolded during the congregation of local residents for Friday prayers, further deepening the shock and dismay within the community.
Masouma, the victim, was a mere 21 years old, her life cut short by this appalling act.
As of the present moment, the Taliban have not issued any statement concerning the incident, leaving the community and authorities anxiously awaiting any official communication.
This grim occurrence follows another tragic event within the past two weeks, involving the fatal shooting of two women in the Baharak district of Takhar.
