Taliban 'hang three followers of opposition tribal leader'

The Taliban has reportedly hanged three followers of a tribal leader who supports the former Afghan king.

The Afghan Islamic Press claims the men are among a group of 25 the Taliban captured.

It's thought they're followers of former Afghan foreign minister, Hamid Karzai.

The Taliban claims they captured the group in Uruzgan province.

Karzai is a supporter of ex-Afghan King Zahir Shah.

He comes from the same clan as the former king and is a powerful Pashtun tribal leader in his own right.
