KANDAHAR, Afghanistan, June 22 (Reuters) - Afghan soldiers beheaded four Taliban fighters after guerrillas cut off the heads of an Afghan interpreter for U.S.-led forces and an Afghan soldier, a government commander said on Tuesday. The interpreter and the soldier were beheaded after becoming separated from a patrol of Afghan and U.S.-led foreign troops in the Arghandab district of Zabul province on Monday night, Namatullah Tokhi, commander of the government's 27th division in the province, told Reuters.
He said government troops later captured and killed four Taliban guerrillas in the same way. "They cut of their heads with a knife, so when our forces arrested four Taliban, we cut off their heads too."

It's nice to see a "Northern Alliance" style of leadership in Afghanistan. The terrorists aren't going to like being terrorized thusly, one presumes.

Perhaps civilized governments need to take a cue from the Afghans...they know how to fight.

Well...isn't that special. I bet the UN will comdemn the Afghan troops, and not the Taliban.

This is all Bush's, Cheney's and Ashworth's fault.
