The man in the picture is a Bin Laden terrorist.

Fear has its grip on this poor devil: his heart is pounding

This is the worst moment of his life.

He is shit scared: all bravey has vanished. He just wants to go home.

Frantically, he wants more than anything to live.

Fear-filled sweat drops down his face like tears from hell.

Do you feel sorry for him?

He silently calls out for his mummy.

A patrol of Northern Alliance troops dragged him from a ditch, where he crouched cowering for his life.

The patrol attacked him as a pack of dogs would strike a lone sheep.

His executioners find him hiding in a ditch

The Taliban soldier has already wet his pants, several times.

The soldier begs for the mercy he never allowed others.

This man had chopped heads off with a sword, swiftly hacked off the hands of thieves and shot condemned women in the back of their heads as they prayed on their knees.

Troops drag the terrified man like a rat from its hole

There is nothing new about atrocities in Afghanistan: the Taliban are masters at murder.

The Northern Alliance , by Afghan standards, showed restraint during the advance against the Taliban.

However, they reserved special brutality for Taliban jihadis throughout Pakistan and the Arab lands.

There is no kindness in the minds and hearts of the Taliban or the Northern Alliance.

They pull the terrified man to his feet but he resists.

They both live and die by the sword.

As there is no honour among thieves, so there is also no honour among either side in their efforts to fight for what they believe is right.

The Taliban soldier wets himself again, and makes a mess in his strides.

The troops strip his dirty trousers from him.

They bare his lower region and shoot him in the backside.

They then shoot off his penis, in a savage act designed to humiliate him.

To cap off their savaging, the troops laugh and mock the man derisively as they collectively shoot him in the stomach as he lays prone on the ground.

The troops, in a final act of savagery, shoot the man in the stomach.

In all wars, there is unreasoned cruelty, where men show their inherent barberism.

Many war correspondents have faced this sort of attack and have died a painful and needless death.

It is difficult to fathom why soldiers feel it necessary to butcher others in the most pagan of methods.

What makes a normal, health and considerate man change so drastically once he dons a military uniform?
