The Taliban carried out a double public execution at a stadium in southeastern Afghanistan on Thursday as thousands watched the killing of two convicted men as their victims’ relatives fired the gunshot.
The Taliban’s Supreme Court ruled that the pair were responsible for the stabbing deaths of two victims in separate attacks, according to a court statement.
It identified the two as Syed Jamal from central Wardak province and Gul Khan from Ghazni — though it was unclear who did the stabbing, the two convicted men or others.
