^"Afghan woman accused of adultery stoned to death in video posted online". The Independent. 4 November 2015. Archived from the original on 16 یۆنیۆ 2017. Retrieved 27 November 2015. According to Tolo News Agency, Police Chief General Mustafa said: “The Taliban ordered stoning of the girl after she was caught eloping with a man on the mountains. Police has started investigations and will arrest the perpetrators soon.” But Wazhma Frogh, co-founder of the Research Institute for Women, Peace and Security, said the attackers could have been tribal leaders as local officials were known to blame Taliban insurgents “to cover up their own kind”. She told The Guardian: “Of course the Taliban do these things, but we can’t deny that tribal leaders also do the same things.”{{cite news}}: Check date values in: |archive-date= (help)
