The Taliban executed an Afghan in the Kari Kot village, about 10km south west of Wana Rustam Bazaar, in South Waziristan.
Mai-u-din, belonging to the Zedran tribe of Afghanistan, was brought handcuffed into an open place near the small bazaar of Kari Kot. The Taliban then fired him from the back and killed him in front of the public. The Taliban confirmed that the incident occurred on Monday.
Mai-u-Din was arrested by the local Taliban about a week back. When investigated, he confessed to the killing of a member of Commander Khali Mullah Taliban Group. Khali Mullah is commander of a sub-group of the Mullah Nazir Taliban Group. Khali Mullah was later on killed in drone attack.
Mui-u-Din was also allegedly involved in the kidnapping and killing of Khanak Tojai Khel in Angoor Adda, about two years back. Khanak was a resident of the Angor Adda, the border village of South Waziristan.
The person who fired and killed Mai-u-Din was a brother of the Khanak Tojai Khel.

Lets be fair. The man was executed after he was found guilty of murder. Thats what you call justice. They may be barbarians or in human. But in this particular case, if a fair trial is awarded, i would call it justice
@Noble Tufail: How much di u know about FATA. Their is only 1 law; thats the FCR. No police, no court
This teaches a lesson so that nobody kills again. We ned to learn form Saudis also.
@Mohsin....please read the whole news.Rustam Bazar is main bazar in Wana which is in South Waziristan and IK was addressing rally in D.I Khan which is more than 100 Km away from Wana.Putting false allegations on IK has become daily routine of PML (N) supporters.
Only if a state sponsored armed operation could eradicate this lawlessness. Or is it really lawlessness? These people have a history, a culture that we cannot relate to. They have a sense of justice when it comes to punishment. Perhaps the one thing we can argue is to work with them to refine these methods of justice and living. Here is where modern education steps in. If armed operation is absolutely necessary, lets go for it but the solution lies in the political game and the change could appear 30 years from now if we work on a workable education/justice program in the said regions.
@ Sameer thanks, it is pity that we accept as a nation that it is okay not to have our writ in some areas... the result ... talibanization. I belive that our borders should be protected by men in uniform .. not by "brave tribesmen" .. this further pushes civilian lives into gun culture and violence. lets now wire FATA and all those so called "alaqa gair" into our administrative network and look forward to a naya pakistan. that is violence free
@Noble Tufail:
Do you think its the Pakistani government who rules in DI Khan and adjoining areas?
Do we not have courts and KP police in DI Khan ?
That's the same City where day before yesterday Mr Imran Khan (PTI) was announcing that he pull out troops from waziristan. Go ahead sir & then this will happen to every Pakistani national afterwards.
so....????
Still some idiots want to talk to these barbarians.
I'd suggest the Tribune.com to create a separate archive of Taliban related news. Just like Wikipedia.org offers various portals, it just makes getting the related information easier.\ -Thanks.
