Taliban stage public execution in North Waziristan
2006-07-01
MIRANSHAH: The local Taliban staged the public execution of an alleged killer near the North Waziristan headquarters on Friday. The man who was executed, Ehsanullah, had allegedly killed two other men, and was shot by the victims' relatives. "The man was shot with AK-47 assault rifles by relatives of the murdered men," said eyewitnesses in Ipi, a town near Mir Ali where the execution was carried out.

Ehsanullah had been accused of killing two men on June 22 and the matter was brought to the Taliban's notice. Eyewitnesses said that the Taliban had "arrested" the man and had asked the victims' relatives to kill him in public. "The militants blindfolded him and tied his hands together, dragged him to a public area in the village and gave assault rifles and three bullets to one of the relatives of each of the dead," the eyewitnesses said. "The sound of the gunshot echoed in the area, as people chanted 'Allahu Akbar' (God is great)."

#3  The article doesn't mention how many others were hit by poorly aimed bullets.

#2  I don't quite get the point here? Are they trying to show the world they "Can" administer Justice?
Or attempting to be "Honest and Fair?"
If so, not working, no trial, just drag the accused out and (Twist) let the vicrim's relatives shoot him. How about some kind of trial, with witnesses?

I thought it quite revealing that the executioners were only given three bullets, no turning around and hosing down the Tali-Thugs.
