KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - Suspected Taliban gunmen ambushed an Afghani government border patrol in the desert near the frontier with Pakistan, killing 10 soldiers and beheading their bodies, a provincial governor said Sunday.

The victims served on a 25-member patrol in southern Helmand province that was attacked late Saturday by militants driving four pickup trucks, said provincial Gov. Sher Mohammed Aghunzada. The remaining 15 soldiers escaped.

"The Taliban cut the heads off all the soldiers who were killed," he said. Aghunzada said the dead soldiers' bodies had been recovered.

The news comes a day after a purported Taliban spokesman, Mullah Latif Hakimi, claimed that the rebels had beheaded a U.S. Navy SEAL commando missing since June 28 in mountains in eastern Kunar province, also near the border with Pakistan...

Islam reinstates human sacrifice to appease its gods. Slaughter is done in a ritually correct manner. No Moslem would cut off another human being's head unless the slaugher was prescribed and allowed by many fatwahs of religious leaders. Smash the idols of Islam. Seek the destruction of its temples. It is an abomination. Woe to those who cannot distinguish between good and evil.
The Hebrew bible condemned human sacrifice as an abomination. So did Christianity. Islam purports to be the perfect faith completing the revelations of Judaism and Christianity reinstating pagan killing customs. The term bomber or terrorist or insurgent misses the point. These are ritually motivated murders. Denounce the murder of the innocents. Denounce the perpetrators. In ancient times, it was necessary to smash the idols so that the primitives would therafter pray to a different god.

Why does the Taliban have a PR guy? Shouldn't they all be dead by now?!
