Militants kill two 'spies' in North Waziristan: officials
2011-05-16
[Dawn] Talibs killed two men in Pakistain's restive tribal district after accusing them of spying for the United States, police officials said Sunday.

The bodies were found on road sides, one hacked into pieces, in the Nawi Adda and Boya areas of the Datta Khel region in North Wazoo, a remote tribal district bordering Afghanistan.

They were local rustics who had been captured after two separate US drone attacks in the region on Thursday and Friday, the officials said.

"A charred body of local primitive was found dumped on the road side in Nawi Adda area on Sunday morning with a note in Pashto language," said local tribal police official Jalaluddin -- who goes by one name.

The second body, which had been cut into pieces was found in Boya area, another local police official, Habibullah Kahn said.

Local intelligence officials also confirmed the incidents adding that the bodies were found with notes warning "all those spying for US will suffer the same fate."

Islamic Death Eaters frequently kidnap and kill rustics, accusing them of spying for the Pak government or US forces in Afghanistan, where Taliban fighters are leading an insurgency.

The US has branded the northwestern tribal area, which lies outside Pak government control, one of the most dangerous places on earth and a global headquarters of al Qaeda -- whose leader the late Osama bin Laden
... he's rotten though not quite forgotten...
was killed by US forces in Pakistain on May 2.

The majority of forces of Evil are concentrated in North Waziristan, the most notorious hideout of the Afghan Taliban and al Qaeda, and where the United States wants the Pakistain military to launch a ground offensive.

But Pakistain says its troops are too overstretched to conduct a full assault.
