Killed for 'spreading Christianity'

Her Christian faith inspired her to work in Afghanistan. Now, it seems, it cost Gayle Williams her life.
The British aid worker was walking to work in the capital, Kabul, when she was shot dead by two gunmen on a motorbike.
She'd spent two years there helping people with disabilities with the charity SERVE Afghanistan.
But the Taliban said today they'd killed her for "spreading Christian propaganda".
Williams had just been brought back to Kabul from the southern city of Kandahar, now considered too dangerous. Taliban fighters beheaded dozens of Afghan civilians there this weekend after dragging them off a bus.
