Cops: Taliban hangs boy for having U.S. money


Taliban militants hanged a teenager in southern Afghanistan because he had U.S. money in his pocket, and they stuffing five $1 bills in his mouth as a warning to others not to use dollars, police said yesterday. Taliban militants elsewhere killed eight police.
The 15-year-old boy was hanged from a tree on Sunday in Helmand, the most violent province in the country.

"The Taliban warned villagers that they would face the same punishment if they were caught with dollars," said Wali Mohammad, the district police chief in Sangin.

Dollars are commonly used in Afghanistan alongside the afghani, the local currency, although the U.S. currency is more commonly seen in larger cities where international organizations are found.
