MIRANSHAH: Militants shot dead on Friday five tribesmen including a pro-government tribal elder near Miranshah. Malik Zahideen was travelling from Miranshah to his native Behramand village along with his two brothers and two nephews when four militants intercepted their vehicle near Kharseen, killing all five with heavy gunfire. The unidentified militants fled. According to AFP, militants shot dead the tribesmen suspecting they were spying for foreign forces in Afghanistan, a local official said. |
