Islamabad, March 01: Militants have killed at least four people in North Waziristan Agency in northwest Pakistan, accusing them of spying for US-led forces stationed in neighboring Afghanistan.
Officials told Media that local tribesmen recovered four bullet-riddled bodies dumped along a road in Miranshah town in North Waziristan Agency early Tuesday.
A note attached to the dead bodies said that “US spies will face the same fate,” the report added.
Pro-Taliban militants in Pakistan have killed dozens of men, mostly Afghan nationals, in the tribal region after accusing them of providing information for US troops stationed across the border in Afghanistan.
Earlier on February 9, militants killed four people in northwest Pakistan for allegedly passing on information about their hideouts to Pakistani officials or to the US authorities in Afghanistan for the campaign of unauthorized US drone strikes in the region.
In a similar case, militants killed two alleged spies in Miranshah in December 2010. Pakistani intelligence officials later confirmed the death of two informants.
