In November 2015, seven Hazara including nine years old girl Shukria were beheaded by local Pashtun Taliban in Zabul province. Several months before this tragedy, they were on their way home, but Pashtun Taliban stopped their buss, and kidnapped them along with 19 other Hazara Passengers. Eyewitnesses say they were Pashtun Taliban talking in their language Pashto, separating Hazara passengers from other, but the Pashtunist government of Afghanistan tried to mislead the public by saying that IS members are responsible, and not local Pashtun Taliban.
