Militants kill 2 'US spies' in Waziristan
2007-02-07
Suspected militants killed two Afghan nationals they accused of being US spies in North Waziristan on Tuesday. It was the second such incident in the North Waziristan region since Friday. An administration official told Daily Times that the two bodies were kept in the Town Hall for identification, but were later buried at Sheikh Adam cemetery when nobody came to claim them. “The men were shot in the legs and head and their hands had been tied behind their back,” witnesses told Daily Times, adding that the bodies were found near Mubarak Shahi village, 15 kilometres east of Miranshah.

No group has claimed responsibility for the killings, but pro-Taliban militants are usually blamed for such attacks. Zulfiqar Mehsud, a spokesman for Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud, told Daily Times that his group was always “cautious about people who are spying for the US”. “The US can do no harm to us without ground intelligence. This is why we don’t spare any person found guilty of spying for the US,” he said.

Ummm not always...

You boyz can't resist stonings. SO we just watch by satellite for someone tied up with 1/2 the people throwing bricks at him and the other half watching the proceedings pleasuring themselves. Voila. Taliban gathering site...

Of course the same goes for hand, tongue or eyeball removal, just watch for any of these activities where there are half or more of the crowd is watching, and pleasuring themselves...

The US doesn't always need to have a spy on the ground to find a Taleban gathering spot...

#3  Sounds like they're either feeling a little paranoid or calling somebody a spy as an excuse to bump him off.

#1  Militants kill 2 'US spies' in Waziristan

1) US spy always wears oversize "Hollywood" Eye Wear.

2) US spy will always point impolitely in public.

3) US spy will always smell like the rest of us.. like an old goat.

4) US spy will always have the tell tail tale lump on his forehead from praying too much trying to pass himself off as one of us.. Idiots.

to wit:
