| WANA: Pro-Taliban militants on Monday executed a tribesman in Laddha village, South Waziristan tribal district, after convicting him of double murder, officials and witnesses said. Sangeen Khan, who was shot dead, was charged with killing a rival and the latter's spouse after torching a house last year, said an official. Murders and other disputes in the area are settled by councils of tribal elders called jirgas. The government this month signed a peace deal with tribal elders in neighbouring North Waziristan, under which Al Qaeda fighters would be expelled. |
