HERAT (Afghanistan): The Taliban publicly flogged and then executed a pregnant Afghan widow by emptying three shots into her head for alleged adultery, police said on Monday.
Bibi Sanubar, 35, was kept in captivity for three days before she was shot dead in a public trial on Sunday by a local Taliban commander in the Qadis district of the rural western province Badghis.
The Taliban accused Sanubar of having an "illicit affair" that left her pregnant. She was first punished with 200 lashes in public before being shot, deputy provincial police chief Ghulam Mohammad Sayeedi said.

Kumaresh- If the taliban lift themselves above the standards adopted by them, they will be no more taliban. As long as they have authority, they will act as they feel right. There is no way other than to fight and eliminate them.

Abid- Stoning to death is the Islamic punishment according to you. But the woman was first lashed and then shot dead. Is it also Islamic. Moreover, the woman was not a prostitute. she is alleged to have committed adultery. Could she be properly given lashes and killed by bullets for this?
