Suspected 'US spies' beheaded in Pakistan

Two men have been beheaded in a lawless tribal region of Pakistan near the Afghan border on suspicion that they were spies for the US, an intelligence official said today.

The headless body of one man was found yesterday near Madakhel, a village in the North Waziristan tribal region, a local intelligence official said on condition of anonymity because of the secretive nature of his job.
