Taliban executes a 47-year old pregnant widow :(

What an awful news!  May the people who inflicted this punishment die the worst possible torturous death!
The Taliban has executed a pregnant widow accused of adultery in western Afghanistan, provincial and district officials said Monday.
The 47-year-old woman, Sanam Gul, also known as Sanam Bibi, was killed in Badghis province Saturday morning, said Ashrafuddin Majidi, the provincial governor's spokesman.
The district governor of Qades, Hashim Habibi, confirmed the execution. He said the woman was accused of adultery that left her pregnant. The Taliban shadow district governor, Mullah Abdul Hakim, and his judge ordered the woman to be executed, he said.
Mohammad Yousuf, a Taliban commander, carried out the execution, shooting the woman in her head, Habibi said. ...
... The statement from the ISAF cited reports that the widow was whipped 200 times before she was shot.
"The Taliban shadow district governor"???? WTF!!!
