Dozens of Taliban fighters stormed their village of Geriveh last week. It wasn't clear what the reason for the raid was; some reports said the Taliban came to extort “taxes" from the villagers, The Associated Press reported.


Qamar Gul, 16, and her brother, 12-year-old Habibullah, were asleep when the attack started. Reports indicate three Taliban militants stormed into the home and dragged the children's parents into the street.


The Taliban “took both my father and mother out and shot them in front of my eyes," Qamar Gul told reporters on Tuesday. Each child grabbed a gun their father had kept in the house.

Then they fought back.


“I had no choice but to take my father’s gun and fire on them," she said. “Two were killed and another of them was wounded.”


Between the two of them, the brother and sister killed two fighters and injured another. They kept shooting until other villagers arrived and the Taliban fled.


Why Qamar Gul and Habibullah's parents were targeted remains unclear. Their father was a tribal leader, who supported the Afghan government, a provincial government official said.


Arif Aber, spokesman for the governor of Ghor province where the incident took place, said the children's father had stood up to Taliban tax collectors who plundered the villages in the past.


A Taliban spokesman has denied the report.

The incident triggered widespread attention on social media attention, specifically Qamar Gul's actions. A photo of her holding her father's AK-47 has gone viral, triggering a deluge of admiration and praise for the teenager.


The children were being brought to the capital, Kabul, to meet Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, possibly later on Wednesday. The Associated Press could not confirm the reports and the children and the officials accompanying them on the trip to Kabul could not be immediately reached for comment.


The Taliban have stepped up attacks across Afghanistan despite signing a peace deal with the United States in February. That agreement was intended to pave the way for talks between the insurgents and the government in Kabul, leading to an end to decades of war. Those talks were supposed to begin this month, but the process has stalled over the implementation of a prisoner release detailed in the U.S.-Taliban deal.


The peace deal called for the Afghan government to free 5,000 Taliban prisoners in exchange for the Taliban releasing 1,000 captive government personnel. So far, the government has freed more than 4,200 and the Taliban have freed around 800.

At first, the man thought it was two lovers making out there, he said he only wanted to spy and see the action, but to his surprise, it was a young man raping a mad woman. Youths of the town were very aggrieved and were about to give him the beating of his life when an elderly man calmed them down and made them take the man to the elders. He confessed that it was not the first he had been having s£x with the mad woman, he said it was not for ritual purposes, he was only having some nice time with her.
