Suspected spies killed by militants in Pakistan

Suspected Islamic militants decapitated one Afghan man and shot dead another after accusing them of spying for the US in a tribal region in north-western Pakistan, an intelligence official said today.

The body of one slain man was dumped by the side of a road on the outskirts of Miran Shah, the main town in North Waziristan tribal region, where helicopters also raided a suspected militant facility, the official.
