Taliban releases video of 17 beheaded Pakistani soldiers | The Taliban has released a video, which they say
shows the heads of Pakistani soldiers who they captured in a cross-border raid
from Afghanistan and beheaded. The beheading, claimed by the Tehreek-e-Taliban
Pakistan , took place on Sunday when Taliban militants from Afghanistan infiltrated
into the northwestern district of Upper Dir. A senior security official in Peshawar
confirmed that a total of 17 soldiers were targeted by the attackers who came
from Afghanistan 's Kunar province. "Six troops were killed on the first day and
another seven were slaughtered the next day," News24 quoted the official, as saying.
"Four were missing and now they have also been beheaded," the official added.\
According to the report, the video prepared by the Taliban's media wing shows
17 severed heads of soldiers placed on a white sheet while masked men stand behind
clutching assault rifles captured from the soldiers. Local security officials
confirmed that all the victims were Pakistani soldiers.
