Militants kill 11 hostages in Pakistan
Militants have killed all 11 men they kidnapped from a minibus in apparent retaliation for an assault by security forces on the stronghold of a militant cleric in north-western Pakistan, a police official said today.
The men, who included at least four security forces, were abducted on the outskirts of Swat district on Friday. A witness said he had seen six of the bodies with notes attached accusing them of spying for America.
