A purported spokesman for the Taliban said Friday that the militant group had beheaded four Afghans it accused of spying for U.S.-led forces.

The men were abducted at gunpoint by armed men and their headless bodies were dumped in the southern province of Zabul and found Thursday and Friday, said Ali Khail, a spokesman for the provincial governor.

Meanwhile, coalition and Afghan forces announced that they had destroyed a bunker used by insurgents, killing 17 of them Wednesday in southern Afghanistan, where the militants have been launching increasingly bold attacks.

Coalition troops were locked in a five-hour gunbattle Friday with more than 40 extremists near the capital of Tirin Kot in southern Uruzgan province, the military said in a statement.

Most of the militants, who were firing from hidden positions in an orchard and compound near the village of Mirabad, were believed killed, the coalition said.
