ISLAMABAD, Feb. 24 (Xinhua) -- Pakistani Taliban militants beheaded three men charged with spying for the United States in Pakistan's northwest tribal region, officials said Wednesday.
The beheaded bodies were dumped roadside in Mirali town in North Waziristan. A written paper found near the bodies warned that people would face the same destiny if they are found guilty of spying for America.
Pakistani officials said two of those beheaded were Afghan citizens and another was Pakistani tribesman.
The fresh killing seems to be retaliation for the enhanced U.S. drone attacks in Pakistan's tribal region bordering Afghanistan, seen as hideout of Al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters.
