Taliban kills 3

Taliban militants executed three people in a restive Pakistani tribal region near the Afghan border after accusing them of spying for the United States, officials said.

The body of a 25-year-old local tribesman was found hung upside down in a tree in the town of Naurak in North Waziristan, residents and security officials said.

The man had been kidnapped from the region's main town of Miranshah last week.

The bullet-riddled bodies of two Afghan refugees were dumped on a roadside in the same area, a security official said.

Notes found near the bodies said: "they were found guilty of spying for the US forces in Afghanistan".

Militants have killed dozens of local tribesmen and Afghan refugees on charges of spying, mainly for the Pakistani Government or US forces operating across the border in Afghanistan.

Pakistan's lawless tribal areas have been wracked by violence since hundreds of Taliban and Al Qaeda rebels sought refuge in the region after the US-led invasion of Afghanistan toppled the hardline Taliban regime in late 2001.

As I said I have no comment to make ... but apparently this is what I have to do to get around that.

i wonder how the taliban determines who is a spy and who isnt. is it like the salem witch trials only they hang people from trees and whoever lives is on their side? let that place burn to the ground

Either way... can a mod fix the headline or whatever.... dont want to be misleading.

Mungo

theres nothing misleading about it. its right there in the title

Mods !! where the "spip" are you when I need you?

Well at least they didn't blame their deaths on the USA.

They were probably trying to send a message to the rest of the tribes of what will happen if they even think about helping the USA.
