A mother and daughter were stoned and shot dead today (November 11, 2011) in their home in eastern Afghanistan by two armed men, according to the Global Post website.
The men -- who accused the young widow and her daughter of "immoral activities" -- entered their home in Ghazni at about 4:00 a.m.
Security officials said the men took the pair out to the yard, where they were first stoned, and then shot dead.
Ghazni police chief Zilawar Zahid said the Taliban was responsible, and that the two men were arrested. Islamic law (Shariah) allows women to be stoned to death, if they are convicted in a court of law for having committed adultery or other immoral acts.
