After the Taliban murdered all those who defied them, they dumped the bodies of their victims in the square. Thus, the Green Square got the name the "Bloody Square".

The green square turned into the bloody square because when people were standing up against the Taliban or not doing what the guy on the radio was telling them to do, they took those people to the green square and hit them a lot.
