Taliban blow up ‘spies' in North Waziristan
2010-05-22
MIRANSHAH: Taliban strapped bombs to two men they accused of spying for the US, blowing them up at a public execution in the Degan area of North Waziristan, security officials said on Friday.

“Masked Taliban strapped improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to the bodies of two alleged spies and blew them up in public,' local police official Khalil Khan told AFP.

The Taliban threatened anyone “spying' for the US with the same fate and called on locals to witness the public execution late on Thursday.

#2  Yeah, Mitch, I guess pouring hot oil down their throats and beheading them doesn't have the same pinache any more either.

#1  That strikes me as excessively theatrical, bordering on hysterical. What, head-chopping and simply shooting their enemies isn't properly cowing the locals any more?
