Taliban publicly 'blow up' two alleged US spies in North Waziristan | | In yet another show of its 'barbaric' justice, the Taliban blew up two alleged US spies in a village
near Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan. According to reports, the
Taliban strapped explosives to two tribal men, who were accused of spying for
the US , and blew them in full public view. "Taliban terrorists strapped explosive
material to their bodies and blew them up publicly," a local administrative official
in Miranshah said on conditions of anonymity. The Taliban has carried dozens of
public executions of people accused of spying for foreign forces in the ungoverned
tribal regions in Pakistan along the Afghanistan border. The Taliban follow the
harsh brand of Islamic law called 'sharia'. The Taliban say that their version
of Islam is a pure one that follows a literal interpretation of the Muslim holy
book, The Koran. Under Taliban laws, murderers are publicly executed by the relatives
of their victims. Adulterers are stoned to death and the limbs of thieves are
amputated. Lesser crimes are punished by public beatings. |
