Militants allied to the ousted Taliban regime have beheaded six Afghan policemen captured in an ambush near the Pakistanborder, adding a grizzly episode to a stream of attacks across southern Afghanistan that shows no signs of easing.
Haji Mohammad Wali, spokesman for the governor of Helmand province, said the six policemen went missing after the ambush on Saturday in which four policemen were killed. Their decapitated bodies were later recovered, he said.
