Taliban militants hanged five civilians in Kajaki district of Helmand province, according to local officials.
The Ministry of Interior said that militants hanged the five civilians in front of people in the Gandum Rez village. They were accused of spying for the government, said Najeeb Danesh, the Deputy Spokesperson for the Ministry.
Helmand MP Abdul Hay Akhundzada confirmed the incident but said that the individuals killed were actually members of the Taliban who had failed to do their jobs properly during an operation against the Sangeen district governor. “So the Taliban hanged them in front of people so that others learn from them,” he said.
