Islamabad, May 21: The Pakistani Taliban killed two men they had accused of facilitating US drone attacks by wrapping explosives around their bodies and blowing them up in front of a large crowd.
The incident occurred yesterday in Datta Khel area of North Waziristan tribal region, a bastion of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan.
The two men were accused by the militants of being involved in a recent drone strike that killed 35 people.
The Taliban asked residents of two villages to gather at two specified spots in Datta Khel, located 25 km west of Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan.
Dozens of armed Taliban fighters then brought the two men to those spots.
Taliban commanders initially told the people that the two men, whom they described as US spies, would speak and confess to their involvement in several drone attacks.
