The group previously had engaged in cruel executions and punishments when they last controlled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001. Sometimes the executions took place in front of large crowds in a stadium.

"Everyone criticized us for the punishments in the stadium, but we have never said anything about their laws and their punishments," Taliban leader Mullah Nooruddin Turabi told the AP news agency on Friday. "No one will tell us what our laws should be. We will follow Islam and we will make our laws on the Quran."

The Taliban took control of Afghanistan on August 15, as the US military and NATO allies were pulling out forces from the country. Human rights observers are concerned that the group will roll back advancements in women's rights and impose a strict version of Islamic law on residents.
