Islamabad, March 21: Pakistani intelligence officials say militants assassinated four men for allegedly providing the U.S. with information used in a recent drone attack that Pakistan claims killed many innocent civilians.
The officials say the bullet-riddled bodies of three Pakistanis and one Afghan were found Monday in the North Waziristan tribal area with notes outlining their alleged role in the drone strike. The notes warned that anyone who helps the U.S. will face a similar fate.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
U.S. officials have denied that the drone strike on March 17 in the Datta Khel area of North Waziristan targeted innocent civilians.
