KABUL, Afghanistan - A pregnant widow was whipped and shot by the Taliban for alleged adultery in the Qadis district of Badghis province Monday, Aug. 9.
The widow was whipped 200 times then shot in public by a Taliban commander, according to reports.
"This tragic gruesome brutality is an example of Taliban justice," said U.S. Army Col. Rafael Torres, International Security Assistance Force Joint Command Combined Joint Operations Center director. "This is not what the people of Afghanistan want -- they want peace and freedom and that's what we're going to help provide."
