Islamic State (ISIS) militants on Sunday have killed seven civilians including two women and one child in southern Zabul province amid heavy fighting in the region between the group and Taliban insurgents.

The victims — members of the Hazara ethnic group — were kidnapped about a month ago by Daesh extremists, who have been involved in a fierce battle with Taliban and Afghan security forces.

Following that, angry protester stormed Afghanistan’s presidential palace in Kabul on Wednesday, staged a protest against beheading the seven civilians.

Most of the thousands of demonstrators were peaceful as they criticized what they see as the government’s failure to protect the public.

Meanwhile, due to the incompetence of government leaders, the Parliament representatives will summon the top authorities to house in the coming week.

“The nation’s house must press government to be accountable. They will be summoned to Parliament in the coming week,” said Reyhana Azad, Parliament member.

This comes as the Taliban reported to have killed several of the Islamic State militants said to be responsible for the beheadings, according to a local official, though that account could not be confirmed more broadly.
