Ghor, Afghanistan: Following the footsteps of the dreaded Islamic State group which is known for their different and barbaric execution styles, the Taliban recently executed a labourer in Afghanistan's Ghor city.
According to a report, the 21-year-old victim, Fazl Ahmad, was dragged out of his home by Taliban militants before being executed.
The terror group's militants accused one of Ahmad's relatives of killing and ex-Taliban commander, for which he was punished.
They cut out his eyes open and while he was still alive, they started carving out Ahmad's skin from his chest.
"The victim was still alive and screaming when the militants skinned him alive, leaving his heart exposed," Ruqiya Naeel, a member of parliament in Afghanistan told The Washington Post. While Ahmad was alive and writhing in pain, he was thrown off a 10-storey cliff.
Last month, the Afghan Taliban selected Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada as their new leader after a US drone strike killed their former chief Mullah Akhtar Mansour in Pakistan.
As Taliban continued to make steady battlefield gains against the country’s security forces, Barack Obama recently ordered US military to tackle the resurgent terror group more directly -- in tandem with their Afghan allies.
