Officials in southeastern Afghanistan have confirmed that the main perpetrator of a massacre that took place a few months ago in Ali Sher district, Khost, will be executed tomorrow as ordered by the court. The case had been under investigation for several months and was the focus of significant public attention in the region.

The suspect was arrested shortly after the incident, officials said. Several residents were killed in the tragic incident in Ali Sher district, which local authorities described as a “serious and deliberate criminal act.” After the incident, there was panic in the area and due to public pressure, the security agencies quickly tracked down the accused.
After the arrest, the case was handed over to the judicial system, where it was heard in stages.
