Militants behead ‘US spy’

Published March 14, 2007

WANA (South Waziristan), March 13: Militants beheaded a man accused of spying for United States forces, officials said on Tuesday.

The headless body of a man was found late on Monday in a sack on a roadside in Jandola, a town bordering the troubled South Waziristan tribal region, a security official said.

The severed head was placed near the sack and a note near his body read ‘US spy’ and ‘Rawalpindi’, he said.

Local residents failed to identify the man — who appeared to be in his mid-40s — after which the body was buried, the official said.—AFP
