PESHAWAR: Taliban shot dead three men, including two brothers, in South Waziristan after filming them confessing to spying for the United States, officials said on Monday. “This is the first time in South Waziristan that Taliban have made confession videos. Earlier, they just used to put notes on the bodies of alleged spies,” Allahbagh Khan, a local administration official, told AFP. The bullet-ridden body of local tribesman Tahir Khan was found dumped in a bazaar in Wana, the main town in South Waziristan. “Khan, who was kidnapped 10 days ago, had multiple bullet wounds on his body,” a security official told AFP. A DVD found with the body showed Khan confessing to spying and passing on information that led to a series of US missile attacks in the region. A note found on the body said: “All those spying for the US will suffer the same fate,” according to the official. Two more bodies of alleged US spies were found an hour later with similar notes and DVDs. One was a brother of Khan and the third man was identified as Shabbir Khan, residents and officials said. afp
