ISLAMABAD - Pro-Taliban militants in Pakistan's tribal region killed a woman on Wednesday accusing her of spying for US-led international forces in neighbouring Afghanistan, officials said. "The body of the woman was found on the side of a road in Inayat Kali area of Bajaur Agency," said an official in the semi-autonomous tribal district. "She had been missing since Tuesday and was believed to have been abducted."The official said the woman had apparently been hanged.
The militants left two notes at the site that said the woman had confessed to "spying against the Taliban" and "running a brothel." Local Taliban spokesman Maulvi Omar confirmed the killing of the first female alleged spy in the tribal area but avoided claiming responsibility for the incident.
