Taliban execute 'double murderer' in Miranshah
 The Taliban staged a public execution on Tuesday in front of hundreds of tribesmen in Miranshah in North Waziristan after a Taliban court convicted the man of killing two brothers, intelligence officials and a local resident said.Waheed, the man who was executed, had shot dead two brothers, Amar Zeb and Alam Zeb, in a football ground in Miranshah two weeks ago and had tried to flee the scene. He was caught by the Taliban minutes after he killed the brothers. As the Taliban watched, a brother of the slain brothers shot the convicted murderer six times in a soccer field around 10:30am, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity. After the ruling, the Taliban paraded the man onto the soccer field surrounded by hundreds of tribesmen, said a local resident. Posted by: Fred 2010-06-09 |
