KATHMANDU: A teenage Afghan girl has been hailed on social media for fighting back last week against Taliban militants who killed her parents, BBC reported.
According to the report, the girl took the family’s AK-47 assault rifle, shot dead two of the militants and wounded several others.
The Taliban came to the house because the girl’s father was a government supporter, they added.
A photo of the girl holding the gun has gone viral in recent days.
Later more militants came to attack the house, in the village of Griwa, but were beaten back by villagers and pro-government militia.
