Taliban behead two civilians in Afghanistan

Taliban militants killed two civilians for allegedly spying to government and foreign forces in Afghanistan's Nimroz province, some 790 km southwest of capital city of Kabul, police said Thursday.

"Taliban rebels beheaded two innocent civilians in Khash Rod district on Wednesday," deputy provincial police chief, Mohammad Musa Rasouli told Xinhua.

The insurgents abducted the ill-fated men few days ago and their beheaded bodies were found in Khash Rod district Wednesday evening, the official said.

Taliban outfit fighting Afghan and NATO-led troops has yet to make comment.

Civilian casualties in Afghanistan continued to rise as a total of 2,777 civilians had been killed in 2010 which indicates a 15 percent increase in compare with 2009, a joint report of Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission(AIHR)and UN mission in the country said on Wednesday.
