According to Amnesty International: "A resident of Mai Sandari told Amnesty International that in May 2012 he and some nine other residents of the area saw the JTF arrive and bring a man out of their vehicle. The witness said: “The JTF didn’t know we were watching... Some [residents] were about 50 meters away. I was about 200m away. They asked the man to remove his clothes. They gave him a football shirt to wear and tied his hands behind his back with a belt. They asked him to walk [then] they fired from behind and killed him. They used an AK47. One soldier fired four bullets. It was very close range, [the gun was] touching his head... When they killed him they left the corpse there. We went and reported to the police station… the police told us to go and take photographs of the corpse and to bury him.”" [+]
