Taliban hang eight-year-old boy

Suspected Taliban militants hanged an eight-year-old boy in southern Afghanistan after ordering his father, a local police commander, to surrender, a government spokesman says.

The child was kidnapped by militants in Greshk district of the southern province of Helmand four days ago and was hanged on Friday, provincial governor spokesman Daud Ahmadi said on Saturday.

"The militants had warned his father, who is a local police commander, to surrender with his police vehicle and weapons, otherwise they would kill his son," Ahmad said.

The Taliban have not commented.

After being driven from power in late 2001, Taliban militants have killed dozens of people accused of spying.

Last year a seven-year old boy was killed by the Taliban for being a spy for foreign soldiers in the same province.

Elsewhere, an operation by Afghan and coalition forces in Helmand left 16 militants dead overnight, officials said.

They also confiscated a drug cache of 2000 kilograms of poppy, six kilograms of heroin, 50 kilograms of hashish and 150 kilograms of morphine, as well as 20 kilograms of ammonium nitrate, which is used as an explosive component.

When we leave this country what will become of the women?

Unless they undergo sex changes, I'd imagine they'd still be women.

We need to get out of that country and let them have their fun.

savages.

[slim 1,533]

How'd the Taliban come to be so powerful anyway?

[Danno 1,228]

Before we look too far down our noses at these savages, lets remember we have people in this country..... and on this board who would no doubt, favor a womans right to destroy a fully formed baby... right up to the point of birth.

Not comparing the evil of the acts, but rather trying to highlight the phoniness of the self righteous.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

We have people in this thread who deplore acts of barbarism carried out by horrible regimes, but bemoan the US justice system for not punishing people they feel deserve it with medieval tortures.

That's more to do with the "phoniness of the self righteous" than your lame bait about abortion.

Who's killed more civilians, the taliban or the coalition?

Their government is not powerful enough.

Ahhh and there is where your point runs out of gas again.,,, when you compare "people who deserve it" to

8 yr old boys and fully formed fetuses.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

The assumption game again, eh Danno? Yeah... There's mileage in that. Not.

[slim 1,533]

I'd say their people aren't powerful enough but that's just me. I know most folks out there want the government to do everything for them but personally, I like to see places where things like this can't happen because the people hold the power.

It's amazing to think that someone could form an assumption based on what you post and not only what you literally typed out. "You can't say that because I didn't type that!"

I think he was referring to people "some" feel deserve whatever cruelty these "some" come up with. Certainly, "some" felt that the 8 year old in question deserved what was coming to him. Their reasoning may be different than your reasoning but the essence is all the same - somehow "some" feel entitled to bring about the death of another by whatever means they see fit. And those "some" will always find ways to rationalize that ill sense of entitlement.

And the abortion debate is really ill placed here. You'll never see it that way and you'll never understand that but the cruel murder by hanging of a living, breathing child is not even close to being relevant in any serious discussion on the rights and wrongs of terminating a pregnancy.
