Local sources in Dasht-e-Barchi, Kabul, confirm that the body of a young girl with her hands tied was found in the rubbish in the middle of an alley.
The victim has not been identified and Taliban officials have not commented.
Since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, cases such as killings and kidnappings of civilians have increased, and in recent months the bodies of a number of women have been found around the city of Mazar-e-Sharif.
Last week, the shot dead bodies of two female students were found in the Tangi area of the Shadian plain in Mazar-e-Sharif in northern Afghanistan.
