A war photographer told how he watched in horror as Northern Alliance troops executed a Taliban soldier
A war photographer told how he watched in horror as Northern Alliance troops executed a Taliban soldier.
American Tyler Hicks' series of graphic pictures showed the wounded fighter being dragged along the ground, stripped half-naked and shot dead.
Hicks said he had no qualms about people seeing the images. He said: "People should see atrocities from both sides. The Taliban are responsible for terrible things and the Northern Alliance are also capable of carrying out horrible things."
