| Taliban killed spy as gift to Barack Obama, say Pakistani police |
| 2009-02-26 |
| TALIBAN militants beheaded an Afghan in Pakistan's lawless tribal region after accusing him of spying for the United States, local police said today. The 35-year-old man was kidnapped one week ago and his body found today in Razmak some 65km south of Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan, an official said. "He was slaughtered overnight. His headless body was put on the roadside," police official Munir Khan said. A note found on the body of the man, identified as Shafiq Gul, said he was "spying for the US". "Whoever spies for the US will face the same fate. This is a gift to (US President Barack) Obama," the note said. Islamist militants frequently kidnap and kill local tribesmen and Afghans, on alleged charges of spying for the Pakistani government or for US forces, who are battling a Taliban-led insurgency across the border in Afghanistan. |
