PESHAWAR: Militants shot dead four men for alleged spying and dumped their bodies outside Karak in North Waziristan on Saturday, police said.

Police said they found four bullet-riddled bodies with notes from militants in their pockets.

"We found bodies of four men, they had been killed by shooting and notes in their pockets said they were spying for Indian and Jewish intelligence agencies," district police chief Sajid Mohmand told AFP.

"We are trying to ascertain the identities of the dead men," he said, adding that it was the first such incident in Karak.

The victims were aged between 20 to 40, Mohmand said.

A local intelligence official also confirmed the incident.

Militants frequently kidnap and kill tribesmen in the region, accusing them of spying for the government or for US forces in Afghanistan.

Sajid I. Barcha | 13 years ago | Reply how do you manage to display images of blood like this, even if it is not blood, it is red, looks like blood and supposed to be comprehended as blood, where is "censorship"?

E. BLAU | 13 years ago | Reply Words can't adequately describe how badly I feel for the Pakistani innocent people who are not affiliated with any group, but nonetheless fall victim to murderous extremism. The great floods and the earthquake that made world news failed to bring your people together. How sad. What will it ever take for Pakistan to have a true Democracy, where the civilized rule of law prevails over murder and mayhem. The bombings are sickening. Pakistani priorities seem to be a contradiction of values. Modern enough to invest millions, maybe billions to have nukes, but little or nothing for alleviating the suffering of so many who were displaced by the floods, and the big earthquake. As an American, I am proud of America, in that while even though it's up to its eyeballs in Afghanistan, it still provided some rescue and food relief to your people during your recent disastorous flooding.
