Ministry calls in Pakistani diplomat over beheadings
 The Government has summoned the deputy ambassador of Pakistan to explain how Taliban militants were allowed to behead two Afghans on Pakistani soil.Counsellor Asif Durrani was called the other day in front of the Afghan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which strongly condemned last weeks beheadings. The ministry is expected to demand Pakistani authorities do everything in their power to punish the men behind the beheading. In Pakistans Bajaur Agency on Saturday, Pakistani Taliban, thought to be the militant Jaish-e-Mohammad group, publicly executed two Afghans for spying. The group warned at the time that whoever spied for foreign forces in Afghanistan, or supported Pakistans army, would meet the same fate. A spokesman for Jaish-e-Mohammad, Wali Mohammad, said the two beheaded Afghans were residents of Kunar. Posted by: Fred 2008-07-02 |
