Editor's Note: 'A Taliban Execution Brings Back Painful Memories'

Published July 9, 2012 at 7:47 PM CDT

Earlier today, we published and distributed a story by Ahmad Shafi recounting his experience witnessing a public execution in Kabul in 1998. Since the story was published, it has come to our attention that portions of the piece were copied from a story by Jason Burke, published by the London Review of Books in March 2001. We have removed Shafi's story from our website.
