Militants behead 'US spy' in South Waziristan
WANA: Pakistani militants beheaded a man near the South Waziristan area, whom they accused of spying for United States forces in Afghanistan, officials said on Tuesday. Speaking to AFP, a security official said that the headless body of a man was found late on Monday in a sack on a roadside in Jandola town, bordering South Waziristan. He said that the severed head had been placed near the sack and a note near his body read US spy and Rawalpindi, in an apparent reference to the garrison city housing the army headquarters. Local residents failed to identify the man - who appeared to be in his mid-40s - after which the body was buried, the security official added. Separately, two mortar shells fired by suspected militants early on Tuesday exploded near a residential compound for military officers and their families in neighbouring North Waziristans main town, Miranshah, another security official said.
