MIRAMSHAH, Feb 9: Two military helicopters violated Pakistan’s airspace and hovered over the border town of Ghulam Khan in North Waziristan on Monday morning.

Officials said the helicopters which had come from the direction of Afghanistan’s Khost province flew at a high altitude for about 20 minutes.

Local people reported seeing four unmanned spy planes which flew over the area about the whole day.

Meanwhile, an Afghan national was killed in Shera Tala area of Speen Wam subdivision on Monday on charge of being a US spy.

According to AFP, the bullet-riddled body of 30-year-old Islamuddin was found dumped by the road in the area, 40 kilometres north of Miramshah.

The man, who was kidnapped two weeks ago, had multiple bullet wounds on his body, local police official Mehboob Khan said.

A note found on the body said he was “spying for the US,” the official said.
