The Taliban have seized
control of a strategic district in the Afghan province of
Ghazni, officials said Friday.
Insurgents killed some 100 civilians after taking Ajrestan
district - a gateway to Kabul - late on Thursday night after a
week of battle.
Some 15 people suspected of collaborating with authorities
were beheaded, including women, a spokesman for the provincial
governor said.
