Militants kill two 'US spies'

Pro-Taliban militants killed two people after accusing them of working as US spies in the lawless tribal belt near the Afghan border, security officials said on Wednesday. The executions in North Waziristan were the latest in a series targeting people with alleged ties to US- and Nato-led foreign forces battling the Islamic extremist Taliban regime in Afghanistan.
The militants slit the throat of 35-year old Badshah Wazir overnight and dumped his body on a road in Mir Ali, one of the main towns in North Waziristan, a security official said.
