DAR AL ISLAM - PAKISTAN: FIRST STONED THEN SHOT WITH KALASHNIKOV RIFLES

Three stoned, shot dead for adultery in Pakistan

PESHAWAR - Pro-Taleban activists in a Pakistani tribal area stoned and then shot dead two men and a woman for alleged adultery, officials and witnesses said on Thursday.

Some 800 tribesmen watched the executions by the pro-Taleban Lashkar-i-Islam (Army of Islam) group on Wednesday in the Bara region of the Khyber tribal district on the border with Afghanistan, they said.

The trio were tied up with ropes, and tribal elders and other men gathered at a patch of open ground and stoned them. Two masked members of the hardline group then shot them with Kalashnikov rifles, witnesses said.

“The Lashkar-i-Islam men caught them and after investigations it was proved that they were guilty of adultery,” a group member told AFP on condition of anonymity.
