Bajaur tribesmen kill, hang two militants
[Dawn] Tribesmen shot two militants to death and hung their bodies from an electricity pole in a region bordering Afghanistan where insurgent activity is on the upswing, a government official said.The incident comes as authorities probe reports that Pakistani Taliban chief Hakimullah Mehsud died in a US missile strike elsewhere in the northwest. Official Abdul Malik said the bodies were displayed Tuesday in the Inayat Kali area in the Bajaur tribal region. Bajaur was the focus of a previous military offensive that seemed largely successful in clearing out the Taliban and al-Qaida. But insurgents have recently staged a comeback. Malik also said security forces had killed eight more militants in overnight raids in the region. Posted by: Fred 2010-02-03 |
