The 30-year-old woman was targeted by a group of armed men in Latti, Sar-e-Pul.

The area is a remote part of Afghanistan which is largely under the control of the Taliban.

Zabiullah Amani, provincial governor spokesperson said the woman was likely beheaded because she’d made the journey unaccompanied by her husband, who was in Iran at the time of the horrifying attack.


According to Taliban rules, women are strictly prohibited from leaving their home unless accompanied by a man, usually a husband or relative.

Women are often also banned from working in areas controlled by the jihadi group.

Earlier this month, reports suggested five female Afghan guards were shot by gunmen while on their way to work in the airport in southern Kandahar.
