Militants kill four 'spies' in Pakistan

Car blast kills three in Khyber

Militants shot dead four men for alleged spying and dumped their bodies outside a northwestern Pakistani town yesterday, police said.
Police said they found four bullet-riddled bodies with notes from militants in their pockets outside Karak, a northwestern town near the lawless North Waziristan tribal district where Taliban militants are active.
"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.
Meanwhile, a bomb planted in a car exploded yesterday killing three passengers and wounding two pedestrians in a Pakistani tribal area on the border with Afghanistan.
The bomb, which was on a timer, exploded in a moving car at Barqambarkhel village in the lawless Khyber tribal district, they said.
"Three people were killed and two pedestrians were wounded when a time bomb planted in a car exploded," Khyber's top administrative official Shafirullah Khan told AFP.
The wounded were in stable condition, he added.
Washington has branded the tribal belt a global headquarters of Al-Qaeda and wants Pakistan to do more to fight insurgents streaming across its border into Afghanistan.
