| PESHAWAR: A spokesman for the FATA Civil Secretariat has clarified news reports on the killing of Muhammad Hashim Khan in North Waziristan on suspicion of spying for America, saying that Khan was not an Afghan national. The spokesman said that Khan was a resident of North Waziristan, and a member of the Mussaki Tribe. The reports suggested that Khan was killed for his links with Maulana Salahuddin who was killed recently on the same charge, but the spokesman said KhanÂ’s murder had nothing to do with the killing of Salahuddin, who was a resident of S Waziristan. |
