WANA, Sept 24: Taliban on Wednesday publicly executed four people, three brothers among them, in Wana.

Taliban had captured the three brothers a few days ago after the murders of four people. They were tried in a Taliban court, which sentenced them to summary execution under the ‘Islamic principle of Qisas’.

A tribal elder said that a local peace committee comprising ulema and Maliks had also ordered execution of the alleged killers.

Sources said that the three brothers were brought to an open place on the outskirts of Wana, South Waziristan, and shot with a rifle one by one. A crowd witnessed the gruesome scene.

Another person who had also been charged with murder was executed publicly. He was kept in detention for two months.
