The Taliban on Wednesday executed Haji Mullah Achakzai, the police chief of the Badghis province near Herat, Afghanistan.
In a video that circulated on Twitter on Thursday, Achakzai can be seen blindfolded, kneeling down on his knees as he was surrounded by Taliban individuals who shot him several times.
The group shared the video through a Taliban-related network, Afghan security advisor Nasser Waziri, who personally knew Achakzai, told Newsweek on Thursday. The video was verified by other police officers and government officials, according to Waziri.
