Four corpses taken to main square and hung from cranes by Afghanistan’s hardline Islamist regime
Taliban authorities in the western Afghan city of Herat killed four alleged kidnappers and hung their bodies up in public to deter others, a local government official has said.
Sher Ahmad Ammar, the deputy governor of Herat, said on Saturday that the men had kidnapped a local businessman and his son and intended to take them out of the city, when they were seen by patrols that had set up checkpoints around the city.
