Taliban insurgents have killed 28 government forces in the south after the besieged forces surrendered, officials said.

Zelagay Ebadi, governor spokesman for Uruzgan province, where the incident happened, said Friday that the militants killed soldiers in the Gizab district.

Killing of prisoners of war is considered war crime, according to the Geneva Convention and human rights statements.
