Taliban execute an Afghan woman for alleged adultery

 

The scene that Afghan officials say was caught on video last month near Kabul was as horrific as it was once common in Afghanistan: a Taliban fighter executing a woman with repeated shots to the back of her head as his compatriots and scores of villagers watched and then cheered.
The crime the woman was accused of: adultery.

In the video, Taliban members can be heard saying that the executioner is the woman's husband, though Afghan officials offered conflicting accounts of what transpired in the village, Qol-i-Heer.
Colonel Masjidi said the woman's real husband was a member of a village militia that had slain a local Taliban leader. The woman was executed in revenge on trumped up charges of adultery, he said.
Roshna Khalid, a spokeswoman for the provincial government, said the woman was killed for having multiple affairs with Taliban fighters. Ms Khalid said the woman's name was Najiba, and that she was in her 20s and did not have children.
A third official, Qari Abdul Rahman Ahmadi, a member of the provincial council, said the woman had run off with a Taliban commander, who in turn was accused of passing information to government forces.
He was shot in a nearby village before Najiba was moved to Qol-i-Heer to be executed by her husband, Mr Ahmadi said.
