Taliban kill 'spy' tribesmen in Pakistani tribal area
Taliban militants shot dead three pro-government tribesmen in a
restive Pakistani tribal area, accusing the victims of spying against
them, officials said on Thursday.
The bodies of the tribesmen, aged 30-40 years old, were found on
Thursday morning near a road in the Tally area of Bajaur tribal region
which borders Afghanistan, a local government official told AFP.
"They were shot in the neck and a note found with their bodies said
all those indulging in activities against Taliban and cooperating with
the government will suffer the same fate," the official said.
Militants have killed several tribesmen, accusing them of spying on
their activities on behalf of the Pakistani government and US forces
operating across the border in Afghanistan.
Tribal regions have been wracked by violence since hundreds of Taliban
and Al-Qaeda rebels fled there after the US-led invasion of
Afghanistan in late 2001.
US and Afghan officials have repeatedly claimed the rugged tribal
region is used by militants to launch cross-border attacks on
international coalition troops deployed in Afghanistan.
Violence linked to Pakistan's role in the "war on terror" has claimed
the lives of nearly 1,200 people in suicide and bomb attacks across
the country in the past year.
