undated video, shows a man
executing a 22-year-old woman
with an AK47 rifle in front of a
crowd of villagers in Afghanistan.
The woman, named as Najiba,
was married to a member of a
hardline Taliban militant group
and was accused of adultery
with a Taliban commander and
was executed in some time in
late June.
The pictures show a large crowd
of bearded men gathered to
watch the execution on the
outskirts of Qol village in the
country's Parwan province.

Najiba is sitting on the edge of a
ditch when a man wearing an
orange beret and holding a rifle
walks up to her and points the
AK47 to her head.
The man swiftly executes her but
as she collapses he continues to
shoot her dead body whilst
walking towards it.
The video was handed over by a
Qol villager to the Parwan
provincial government, situated
north of Kabul, their
spokeswoman Roshna Khalid
told AFP today.
There has been no indication as
to whether there were any
consequences for the Taliban
commander she allegedly
cheated on her husband with.

A large crowd of bearded men in
traditional clothing had gathered
in the Qol village to watch the
execution of the 22-year-old
woman
The video has been condemned
by the Afghan government as un-
Islamic and inhuman.
Public executions of alleged
adulterers were common when
the Taliban regime was in power.
They were in control of the
country from 1996 until 2001,
when they were ousted by a US-
led invasion for harbouring Al
Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden
after the 9/11 attacks.
