Islamists in northern Mali stoned a couple to death on Sunday, on the grounds that they had had children outside of marriage. An official who was one of hundreds who witnessed the killing said the couple, who lived in the countryside, was brought into the center of the town of Aguelhok by “bearded Islamists, armed with Kalashnikov rifles.” The New York Times describes a truly horrifying scene.
The young man and woman were forced into holes about four feet deep, with their heads protruding, and then stoned to death at about 5 a.m. Sunday, the official said.
“They put them into the holes, and then they started throwing big rocks, until they were dead,” the official said, speaking by satellite phone from the remote desert town near the Algerian border.
“It was horrible,” he said, noting that the woman had moaned and cried out and that her partner had yelled something indistinct during the attack. “It was inhuman. They killed them like they were animals.”
