Taliban gains control of more Afghanistan districts as US troops leave
Pentagon correspondent Lucas Tomlinson has the latest on the US troop withdrawal on 'Special Report'
The Taliban beheaded an Afghan man who had worked as a translator for the U.S. Army, according to reports.
Sohail Pardis, 32, had been driving from his home in Kabul on May 12 to pick up his sister ahead of Eid, a Muslim holiday, according to The Sun.

But on the drive, Pardis — who had told friends he was receiving Taliban death threats because the terror group suspected him of being a spy — was stopped at a checkpoint manned by the militant group.
"They were telling him you are a spy for the Americans, you are the eyes of the Americans and you are infidel, and we will kill you and your family," his friend and co-worker Abdulhaq Ayoubi told CNN.
Pardis tried to drive through but wasn’t seen again.

The Red Crescent relief organization reported that villagers said the Taliban shot at his car — and once it stopped, pulled him out and beheaded him.
Pardis had worked for the Army as a translator for 16 months during the occupation, the Sun reported.
