Gunmen shoot dead tribal 'bandit'
2006-06-26
Unidentified masked gunmen have killed a suspected bandit in Pakistan's tribal region of North Waziristan, the authorities say. The tribesman, Goldor, was shot dead in his home early on Monday, along with five others, officials say.
The incident happened in a valley west of Miranshah, the region's main town.

Correspondents say that bandits in the region have been targeted by Islamist militants who carry out vigilante attacks because of rising lawlessness. The authorities say the dead man's home was attacked by several heavily-armed men.
He was accused of several armed robberies and had been warned about his criminal activities by Islamic militants, reports say.
Pot, meet kettle
Correspondents say that family and tribal feuds are commonplace in Waziristan, where many people own guns and where the police are rarely seen. Those accused of carrying out such attacks include the Taleban who have recently started to mete out their own brand of Islamic law in areas out of reach of the security forces. Last year, local militants killed dozens of suspected extortionists and hung their bodies in Miranshah.
