Article contentWhen the Taliban came to kill her parents, one Afghan girl took matters into her own hands, bursting from her home brandishing an AK-47 and killing two of the militants. The Daily Mail reports that Qamar Gul, a teen aged between 14 and 16, wounded other fighters, too, after her mother and father were executed by the men for giving the government their backing. The incident occurred last week in Ghor, in central Afghanistan. The girl’s brave move has gained widespread attention on social media, with Twitter and Facebook users quick to praise her actions. “Suffering exists only because weakness exists,” posted one user on Twitter, calling her a “Ninja Assassin.” Another said she was “a true hero.”
