KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The Taliban hanged a dead body from a crane parked in a city square in Afghanistan on Saturday in a gruesome display that signaled the hard-line movement’s return to some of its brutal tactics of the past.
Taliban officials initially brought four bodies to the central square in the western city of Herat, then moved three of them to other parts of the city for public display, said Wazir Ahmad Seddiqi, who runs a pharmacy on the edge of the square.
Taliban officials announced that the four were caught taking part in a kidnapping earlier Saturday and were killed by police, Seddiqi said. Ziaulhaq Jalali, a Taliban-appointed district police chief in Herat, said later that Taliban members rescued a father and son who had been abducted by four kidnappers after an exchange of gunfire. He said a Taliban fighter and a civilian were wounded by the kidnappers, and that the kidnappers were killed in crossfire.
An Associated Press video showed crowds gathering around the crane and peering up at the body as some men chanted.
“The aim of this action is to alert all criminals that they are not safe,” a Taliban commander who did not identify himself told the AP in an on-camera interview conducted in the square.
Since the Taliban overran Kabul on Aug. 15 and seized control of the country, Afghans and the world have been watching to see whether they will re-create their harsh rule of the late 1990s, which included public stonings and limb amputations of alleged criminals, some of which took place in front of large crowds at a stadium.

Still is the New Taliban.
It was a mostly peaceful hanging.
And women were allowed to watch if wearing a hijab, brought there by a male relative and not being late in doing her cooking and household duties.
It’s like a whole new horizon for them.
The problem could be that the deceased were not actually kidnappers. Just saying.
Blazing Saddles:
"Hung."
"They were right."
True. Very good point.
This is exactly what we should have done with every single Taliban , and ISIS rat, we caught . In 20 yrs of war.
We should have hanged every damned one. We should have hung them from trees where we caught they .
Even if shot to death first , hang their corpses .
Fed their remains to pigs .
This is the way to defeat jihad.Kill them all . No quarter, no mercy.
They get that....we don’t
Sounds like a solution to a problem that just might work. At least those who would consider doing the same crime might now think twice...or more before taking their chance at ending up hanging from a crane...
Thank God these animals were allowed to keep their Twitter account.
They never left past tactics. Those are their tactics.
At least they don’t mean tweet
Taliban police in Chicago. Sounds like a win win.
Democrats can only dream of hanging Trump supporters and anti-vaxxers. Do a survey and many would support it.
I saw it......the guy was hung upside down far above a huge crowd of people (animals).....who love this stuff.
