Taliban executes 15 Pakistani policemen
(KUNA) -- Military front man Ather Abbas here said, Monday, that 15 coppers were kidnapped by Taliban when they attacked their checkpost in Upper Dir district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... province last month. A newly released video, published on LiveLeak website, meanwhile shows the Taliban executing 15 coppers in Pakistain, allegedly for killing six children. The video shows blindfolded coppers in civilian clothes with their hands tied behind their backs and lined up on a hillside. Masked Talibs opened indiscriminate fire at them, and then shot them in the head individually. The killing of coppers comes as Pakistain and Afghanistan are launching formal talks to address growing cross-border attacks. There had been at least five such attacks from hundreds of Afghan-based Taliban on Pak security checkposts in northern districts and tribal agencies. Afghan forces have accused Pak counterparts of firing shells into their territory. President Asif Ali President Ten PercentZardari ... sticky-fingered husband of the late Benazir Bhutto ... is paying a day-long visit to Kabul on Tuesday to discuss the issue.
