Taliban militants kill 'US spy' in Pakistan - official
2009-01-01
Taliban militants executed a man in a restive Pakistani tribal region near the Afghan border after accusing him of spying for the United States, an official said Wednesday. The bullet-riddled body of 28-year-old Mohammad Nawaz was found dumped on a roadside on Wednesday in the town of Mir Ali in North Waziristan.

#5  Did they do, lotp? I've only ever read about them, never saw one close enough to note details...unlike those either sending or receiving the dear little things. ;-)

#1  It doesn't matter whether he was actually a spy. All they have to do is kill some poor schmo they don't like, and call him a spy; it has the same deterrant effect on potential future spies.
