Savages beheading kids: report

A former US Army officer who is part of a volunteer rescue team seeking to save at-risk Americans and Afghan allies still stuck in the Taliban-conquered country says the extremists have beheaded two boys ages 9 and 10 in their reign of terror.

Jean Marie Thrower, an Alabama resident who has served in the 82nd Airborne Division, joined a group of US veterans and other civilians who work for the Afghan Rescue Crew, which is trying to get Americans, greencard holders and US allies out of Afghanistan, according to a National Review report.

ARC has removed hundreds of people from the country, but the group said there are thousands of at-risk Afghans still left behind after the US pullout, the magazine said.

Thrower also disputed the State Department’s characterization that only 100 Americans have been left on the ground, saying that as of a few days ago, her group’s figure was closer to 1,000.

National Review also reported that Christians said they had received phone calls from the Taliban promising to behead them.
