Several residents of Herat, identified as Mohammad Nazir and Wazir Ahmad, said he saw the Taliban displaying the bodies in the city’s public square. Ahmad told The Associated Press that three of the bodies were then moved to other parts of the city, where they were then displayed for passersby.
“When I stepped forward, I saw they had brought a body in a pickup truck, then they hung it up on a crane,” Nazir told Reuters.
An Associated Press video showed crowds gathering around the crane and peering up at one of the bodies as some men chanted.
“The aim of this action is to alert all criminals that they are not safe,” an alleged Taliban member told the AP in the square. The unnamed member said that the bodies belonged to alleged kidnappers.
Ziaulhaq Jalali, a Taliban district police chief in Herat, told Al Jazeera that the group’s members rescued a father and son who were abducted by four kidnappers. A Taliban member and a civilian were injured by the alleged kidnappers in a shootout, Jalali said. Taliban leader Mullah Nooruddin Turabi poses for a photo in Kabul, Afghanistan, Sept. 22, 2021. (Felipe Dana/AP Photo) Since taking over Afghanistan last month after the U.S. military pulled out, some high-ranking members of the Taliban, designed by several U.S. intelligence agencies as a terrorist group, said they have changed their ways since the Taliban previously ruled the country between 1996 and 2001.
However, Mullah Nooruddin Turabi, who now heads the so-called Ministry of Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, suggested that public executions and other strict punishments including hand amputations will be meted out.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
