The opposition Northern Alliance summarily executed more than 100 Taliban child soldiers following their capture of Mazar-e-Sharif on Friday night, according to the United Nations.

UN spokesperson Stephanie Bunker said sources in the city claimed that over 100 young Taliban recruits were discovered hiding in a school when the Northern Alliance overran the city. They were all executed at 6pm on Saturday, she said.
