0:00 | These images were captured on amateur video on April 22, 2013 in the | |
0:10 | Alkamari [sp?] district, some 50 kilometers from Khamenaun [sp?] military base, where most Spanish troops are stationed in north-east Afghanistan. | |

0:28 | “You can see for yourselves why it doesn’t rain. | |
0:34 | What is the main reason? | |
0:36 | The murders, the adulteries, and our bad deeds.” | |
0:41 | Another mullah explains they must take justice in their own hands, | |
0:45 | because the Afghan government is totally corrupt. | |
0:48 | “Normally the government is responsible for deciding and knowing what to do. | |
0:53 | But nowadays there’s much corruption in government | |

1:08 | that she must be killed, according to Islam.” | |
