| Suspected militants in a Pakistani tribal area shot dead two tribesman accused of spying for US forces operating in Afghanistan, said officials on Monday. The body of 30-year-old Qayyum Shahmiri was found early on Monday south of Miranshah, a security official told AFP. He said Shahmiri had been shot in the head and chest, and a note found near his body said he was an “American spy”. Security officials said another body was found later from a drain in Manzar Khel town, 25 kilometres south of Miranshah. The bullet-riddled body of 40-year-old tribesman Reham Din was found with a note claiming that he was working as an “America spy”, they said. Last week, pro-Taliban militants decapitated an Afghan cleric accused of spying for US forces and making recordings of anti-Taliban speeches in South Waziristan. The militants also cut off the hands and feet of a suspected spy in North Waziristan last month. |
