PESHAWAR – Four bullet-riddled bodies of local tribesmen were found on the main Miranshah-Datta Khel Road in North Waziristan Agency with a letter accusing them of being ‘American spies’, tribal sources and officials said on Tuesday. They said the bodies with gun shots were dumped on the roadside and it was evident that they had been killed early in the morning.
An official in the political administration told Pakistan Today that “all the four killed were local tribesmen and had been picked up by unidentified armed men from the outskirts of Miranshah about a week ago”. The deceased were identified as Afsarullah, Asmatullah, Bashirullah and Noor Rehman from Land Muhammad Khel. Officials said notes pinned on their chests read, “We killed them because they were spying for America, anyone who acts like this will face the same fate.”
Local administrative official Syed Noor Shah told AFP, “We have recovered all the four dead bodies. They are local tribesmen aged between 25 and 40. “The notes pasted on their chests were from Pakistani Taliban,” he said.
