Six members of the same family, including an infant girl, were executed by members of the Taliban terrorist group in a remote northern village, said officials in Afghanistan.
The Taliban has denied any involvement and said the killings on Saturday were motivated by a personal dispute, The Associated Press reported. Jawed Bedar, a spokesman for Faryab province’s governor, told the news agency that the family was accused by the Taliban, which has long been designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the Department of State, of being involved in prostitution.
