Taliban

Published June 24, 2013

ACCORDING to your news report (June 10), the Taliban beheaded two boys aged 10 and 16 on the suspicion of spying for the Afghan army.

Last year also in the same district of Kandahar they beheaded and skinned a 16-year-old boy, a six-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy.

The Taliban are ruthless, savage and brutal. How dare they behead small children?

The civilised world should stand against them and eliminate them wherever they are. They deserve no mercy. They are barbarians.
