LANDI KOTAL (Khyber Agency), June 4: A woman and three men were publicly executed in Bara on Monday after a jirga found them ‘guilty of adultery’. Haji Jan Gul, a member of Sipah Eslahee Committee, told Dawn that acting on a tip, members of his committee had caught the four in a house in Alamgudar village.

He said the four had been interrogated by the jirga before the verdict for their execution was issued.

He said one of the men, Said Ras of Mardan, had told the jirga that he got the woman, who was his relative, into the business to pay off his debt. The woman admitted that the statement was correct and pleaded for mercy.

Mr Gul said the jirga had unanimously decided to punish the woman, Said Ras, Afghan citizen Ziauddin and Sheikho of Landi Kotal.

They were shot dead with Kalashnikovs in an open area near Speray Dam. Sources said a large number of people witnessed the execution. The bodies were handed over to the relatives of the deceased.

Bara political administration confirmed the incident but did not register a case.

This was the second incident of public execution in the Khyber Agency in three months. Two men and a woman were stoned and later gunned down in Akakhel area of Bara tehsil on March 14.

Islam certainly is a religion of tolerance. Unelected 'jirga' holds a 'trial', declares the 4 'guilty', and then swiftly carries out the death sentence. All this and Amnesty International is concerned about GITMO and ABU GHRARIB> Disgusting........

And they think WE are un-civilized...........

That's because your not reading between the lines. It's really not Amnesty International, It's Amnesty Against the US. Third world backwaters don't know no better (plus, they don't accept guilt, and we all know those who accept guilt will have it heaped on by the truckload.)

By not screaming long and loud about these barbarities, Amnesty and similar NGOs are in effect stating that these barbarians are unredeemable animals on which attempts at correction will be ineffective. A very patronizing attitude, not to mention destructive. Because, thus relieved of any accountability for their actions, the savages will go on unconcerned to the next atrocity, much as we walk or breathe the air.

In contrast, NGO objections against U.S. transgressions, however insignificant they may be, do get results. Abetted by our media and the opposition party's antiwar wing, each new charge sends the nation into weeks of guilt-ridden self-reflection. This encourages more browbeating by the NGO's, and so on and on it goes.

When the jirgas start executing North American and European Leftists who just loooooooove diversity and multiculturalism, we must remind them to see the humor.

My word, back in March they stoned some folks and them shot them to death.

Sounds like “Death By Chi-Chi” to me.

Yep. Amnesty International is a big, fat joke.

They were shot dead with Kalashnikovs

I certainly hope that jirga has paid his royalty payment for that AK...
