KABUL — In a remote area of Afghanistan, where thousands of years of hardscrabble tribal culture increasingly mixes with a resurgent Taliban militancy, this is how Fazl Ahmad allegedly died.

Local officials in Ghor province said one of Ahmad’s distant relatives was suspected ofkilling a former Taliban commander. In December, militants dragged Ahmad from his house and cut out his eyes in retaliation.

Ahmad was still alive and screaming when the attackers began carving the skin off his chest, leaving his heart exposed. Then they threw the 21-year old laborer off a 10-story cliff, officials said.

“They skinned him alive,” said Ruqiya Naeel, a member of parliament from the area.

You do realize the persons is in fact dead when the heart gets taken out

[Popman]

Of course I do...

As the plunged the knife into your chest and watched as they cut out your still beating heart...

0bama says the Taliban are our Muslim friends against ISIS.

Nice friends we have, there.

Joe Biden says the Taliban is “not our enemy”. White House & Hitlery agree.

I can’t believe we spent 3 trillion dollars we didn’t have to try and help these freaks. We never should have helped them. No more spending money in the Middle East. Let them all kill each other.

I read that there remains enough oxygen in your head that you can continue to sense everything for up to 30 seconds after decapitation.

The brain is still alive for a minute or two when the heart is removed. You would still be able to feel pain.

We spent 3 trillion dollars to benefit American corporations in the military/industrial complex.

It's racist to think this way of putting a person to death is inferior.. Ask Mitch and the GOPe...

Perhaps but not while the heart is being eaten takes time heat a pan and sauté some onions and a butterfly the heart and cook 3ta5 minutes a side

[B4Ranch]

You could eat it raw, couldn’t you?

“....you can continue to sense everything for up to 30 seconds after decapitation.”

I do not care to be a test subject for that proposition.

[Jack Hammer]

Surprised they printed this in the Post. It might lead some impressionable folks actually to believe that they back an anti-moslem military involvement.

But, but, but... water boarding is torture!

[hal ogen]

OoooooohWeeeeer! Those peace-loving, fun-loving moozlums. Remember...all cultures are equal.

[Clintonfatigued]

Religion of Peace alert.

[fision]

Don’t get any nasty ideas about water boarding Taliban prisoners.

[right way right]

To the author- Do we really need more signs?
