KABUL - The Taleban have executed four people in different parts of Afghanistan for spying for foreign forces and the Afghan government, local officials and Taleban sources said Monday.A teenager was hanged in Sangin district of Helmand province Sunday night apparently for giving information on the Taleban hideouts to government and foreign forces. Sangin district chief, Haji Ezatullah, said the 15-year-old boy was found hanged to an electricity column after he was pulled out from his home overnight by Taleban fighters. Local fighters claiming to be Taleban said they were behind the hanging because the boy was a ‘spy’ - but there was no claim of responsibility from a Taleban spokesman.
| More likely he fought off being buggered. |
| Pro'ly a nice old man, killed for nothing. |
The fourth case of execution took place in the south-eastern Paktika province Sunday night. Taleban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told DPA Kakai Khan was ‘found guilty of giving intelligence to American forces against the Taleban’. He said the man was killed after he confessed to ‘this crime’ during investigation.
