On March 3, 2017, Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISIS-K/Daesh) militants beheaded two civilians in Achin district—a 16-year-old boy and a man. The executions were carried out after the group accused the victims of providing intelligence to government officials that led to an airstrike killing ISIS-K fighters. This represents a deliberate execution of civilians based on unsubstantiated allegations of collaboration.
