Afghan slain for being 'US spy'
2006-09-29
MIRANSHAH: Suspected militants in North Waziristan have shot dead an Afghan refugee for allegedly spying for American forces in Afghanistan, security officials said on Thursday. The victim, identified as 45-year-old Malang Rahim Jan, belonged to the Khost area of Afghanistan and had been living in a refugee camp near Kohat. He was abducted on Wednesday from Mir Ali. His bullet-ridden body was found in Khadi village, confirmed local government official Fida Mohammad. Attached to his body was a letter warned that "US spies had infiltrated into North Waziristan", stressing that the same fate would meet anybody else found to be spying for the Americans.

#2  There are still refugees in the NWFP? There are still refugees in Waziristan, where there's been a full-fledged local civil war raging for more than a year?

I think this might be better-translated as "Taliban turn on each other, butcher one of their own in paranoid outburst."

#1  As long as they don't figure out that the US spies are the ones with more bullets for their AK-47s, they ought to be OK.
