Woman, three men executed for 'adultery' in Khyber
2007-06-05
A young woman and three men were publicly executed on Monday in Khyber Agency after a private organisation declared them guilty of adultery. Members of the Sipah Eslahi (Soldiers of Reform) Committee, which is regarded as a sister organisation of Lashkar-e-Islami, carried out the public executions in Speray Dam with up to 40 shots fired at the “guilty people,” eyewitness said. The executed were not blindfolded when the five-man squad opened fire on them in front of what a member of the organisation said were around 500 “faithful”. Haji Jan Gul, a member of the committee said the executions were aimed at “keeping the area clean of such vices”.

“The committee caught the three men and the woman red-handed in Alamgudar village when we raided a house after an informer told us about unethical activities taking place in the said house,” Gul told Daily Times. This was the second public execution this year.

#9  Our former President (slick Willie) wouldn't fare to well over there.

Are you kidding? Bill would make a great Iatoldyaso. Stick a turban on his head, give him an flock of worshipers and he'll reel off a four hour speech without breaking a sweat. The big holy men get multiple young brides, and you can dump the old one by just saying so three times.

Just don't tell him, ok.

#8  Our former President (slick Willie) wouldn't fare to well over there. Of course he might whip out his lawyering skills and put the whup ass on em. What is the meaning of "IS?" Tie em up in knots and circles.

#5  Sexecutions - sounds like something out of a William S. Burroughs novel. Of course, much of what goes on in the ME could have come from the pages of a Burroughs novel...
