DERA ISMAIL KHAN:


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
