KOHAT Local Taliban killed three men who were accused of assaulting an eight-year-old boy and threw their bodies in Arakhel square in the Kohat Frontier Region on Monday.

A Taliban spokesman said the `accused` had admitted before their shura and tribal elders to have assaulted the boy. The shura sentenced them to death before a firing squad.

The Taliban had announced last month that they would enforce religious laws in the region.
