The bullet-riddled bodies were dumped on a roadside in Miramshah, the main town of North Wazoo'>
Wazoo tribal district and a known hub of Taliban and al Qaeda-linked bully boys.Officials said notes pinned on their chests purportedly from Pak Taliban read: "We killed them because they were spying for America, anyone who acts like this will face the same fate." Local administrative official Syed Noor Shah told AFP: "We have recovered all the four dead bodies. They are local rustics aged between 25 and 40.
"The notes pasted on their chests were from Pak Taliban." Two local intelligence officials confirmed the incident, saying the bodies were beyond recognition because faceless myrmidons had repeatedly shot the victims in the face.
Militants frequently kidnap and kill rustics in the troubled region, accusing them of spying for the Pakistain government or US forces in neighbouring Afghanistan, where Taliban fighters have been waging a vicious insurgency for nine years.
