Bajaur tribesmen kill, hang two militants
2010-02-03
[Dawn] Tribesmen shot two militants to death and hung their bodies from an electricity pole in a region bordering Afghanistan where insurgent activity is on the upswing, a government official said.

The incident comes as authorities probe reports that Pakistani Taliban chief Hakimullah Mehsud died in a US missile strike elsewhere in the northwest.

Official Abdul Malik said the bodies were displayed Tuesday in the Inayat Kali area in the Bajaur tribal region.

Bajaur was the focus of a previous military offensive that seemed largely successful in clearing out the Taliban and al-Qaida. But insurgents have recently staged a comeback.

Malik also said security forces had killed eight more militants in overnight raids in the region.

#1  Hanged men are uniquely good advertisement for the simple message that "We don't cotton to your kind around here."
