| Two Pakistanis held hostage by Islamic militants on the Afghan border have been killed, a Pakistani government official said on Tuesday. The two district officials were among 14 government men captured by al Qaeda fighters and other militants in a Pakistani offensive launched on March 16. Twelve of the hostages were released unharmed on Sunday. The bodies of the two men were brought to a paramilitary camp and identified, a paramilitary officer said. |
