The woman, named as Najiba, was married to a member of a hardline Taliban militant group and was accused of adultery with a Taliban commander, within one hour they decided that she was guilty and sentenced her to death. They shot her in front of villagers in her village.
Following the shooting a villager handed the video over to the provincial government and "the security forces are preparing a big operation to find the culprits. As she sits with her back to the crowd a bearded man is seen reading verses from the Koran condemning adultery, before saying: "We cannot forgive her, God tells us to finish her. Juma Khan, her husband, has the right to kill her."
The video opens with the woman, wrapped in a grey shawl, sitting at the edge of a ditch in a village surrounded by dozens of men, some perched on rooftops for a better view.
The video then shows a man in white being handed an AK47 rifle.
He approaches to within a couple of metres of the woman, says 'Allahu akhbar' (God is great), aims and fires twice, missing each time. The third shot hits her in the back, she flings her arms wide and collapses.
He then fires another six shots into her body as the crowd cheers wildly, shouting "Long live Islam", "Long live mujahideen (holy warriors)". The shooter then fires four more shots into her body.
