Taliban Kill 'US Spy' In Pakistani Tribal Area - Official
The body of Ajab Khan, 35, was found in the tribal district of North Waziristan on Sunday, a local administration official told AFP.
Khan's body had bullet wounds and there was rope tied around his neck, indicating he was hanged and later shot, the official said.
A note found with Khan's body said he had been killed because he was spying for U.S. forces.
Militants have killed several people, accusing them of spying on their activities on behalf of the Pakistani government and U.S. forces operating across the border in Afghanistan.
The northwest has been wracked by violence since hundreds of Taliban and Al-Qaeda rebels fled there after the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in late 2001.
