On April 30, at the Kabul sports stadium, a crowd of thousands, men and women, gathered to watch Mohammed Ullah convicted of murder being shot dead by a relative of the victim, in an Islamic eye-for-an-eye public execution. Ullah was shot four times by the eldest brother of his victim. The shooting was carried out before a crowd of 3,000, most of whom shouted pleas to spare the man's life. "Why did he kill my brother?" Eshaq Nawab reportedly asked later. "I want my revenge. I will never let him live." At the stadium, a few Kabul residents did what families anywhere might do on a warm summer morning - they brought a picnic.
