Hey I'm seeing a pattern. Seemingly healthy attractive women, fit, and trim having heart attacks. Also no family history of cardiovascular events I'd bet. That's what I am seeing of the few I knew of in my area.In their forties also.

Oh dear, Unump Bonaparte8194. Have you nothing more recent than 2009? And honestly, if you believe the Jews are as powerful as all that, you show yourself mentally deficient to post arguments supporting that idea on a public forum, some of whose members might be belong to that dreaded race you so dislike...
Don't look under the bed tonight. You never know what might find you on those public websites and follow you home. (How many sites did you post your clever little link on, hmmm?)
It must be Poor Impulse Control Day here in SteveS-ville, because I actually followed that link. Hey, come on! I love a good rant and nobody seethes like the Muslims. Plus it totally cracks me up how 7 million Israelis manage to keep the entire Ummah in an continual uproar.
I have to say I was disappointed and surprised. Disappointed, because the article is actually factual and calm. Surprised, because of the conclusion which is this: So, why are Muslims so powerless ?
Answer: Lack of Education ! All we do is shout to Allah whole day and blame everyone else for our multiple failures..!
Yeah, I was gobsmacked.
P.S. Don't bother with the comments. They are as stupid as you might expect.

Thing I can't understand, if they're so powerful and in charge of so much of the world, why not join them? Admittedly it's not as easy as becoming a Moslem, but it's not impossible: you buy the hat, a little snip, maybe a few Hebrew lessons, you find a tame rabbi to sign your papers, and you, too, can go to the synagogue, schmooze, get cut in on big-time business deals, work your way up to world domination.
Of course then you have to marry within the club, hang around with guys named "Saul" and "Schmuley," and none of the cool chicks are attracted to you -- they'd rather have even junior-grade rock stars. And eventually you're expected to get a Ph.D. or take over a major corporation or something like that.
I looked in the rule book one time. Even Arabs can sign up to be Jews.
I think the problem is that once you're in the club you're expected to play by club rules, and if you're not real big into rules that might not be yore thang.

I suspect they don't consider Judaism a religion, but instead consider it a race. See their Arab Dispensationalist interpretation of Islam for more info; heck, look at any of the propaganda aimed at slandering any of a number of prominent Moslem politicians as being descended from Jews.

I made an assumption. I was wrong. Unump Bonaparte8194, you were right and I apologize. I have to admit, I'm glad to be wrong about this one.
May 14 - Canadian and British warships patrolling waters off Libya beat back a boat attack on the port of Misrata hours after the city's airport fell to rebels, NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the style of the American pants... officials said.
The Canadian frigate HMCS Charlottetown and British destroyer HMS Liverpool came together with a French gunboat not under NATO command to fight off the advance by forces backing Muammar Qadaffy's regime, the military alliance said.
The attack by an unspecified number of fast, small Zodiac-type boats came as rebels celebrated following the partial breaking of a two-month siege by regime forces.
''The boats were forced to abandon their attack and regime forces ashore covered their retreat with artillery and anti-aircraft cannon fire directed towards the allied warships,'' NATO officials said.
''HMCS Charlottetown responded with a short burst [of] machinegun fire and HMS Liverpool also returned fire. Neither warship sustained any damage or injury during this engagement,'' it said.

I dearly enjoyed the grand sailing ships. Similar to the H.M.S.Victory. I had a thought of the H.M.S. Hood. I wish another was built. Sad end that lasted all of 3-4 minuets.
[Iran Press TV] Latest reports say Moroccan security forces have severely beaten anti-government protesters with batons, injuring at least ten people.
The protesters wanted to hold a demonstration on the southern outskirts of the capital Rabat in front of what they said was a secret government detention center.
However, The over-used However... anti-riot police dispersed the crowd before their rally could even begin.
Another demonstration has been planned in Morocco's commercial capital, Casablanca.
The protests are part of an anti-government movement which started in the African nation on February 20.
Human rights and civil groups as well as independent journalists have also joined the movement.
They are demanding constitutional reforms that would reduce King Mohammed's powers and make the justice system more independent.
The king has already announced some reforms in an effort to silence protesters. But protesters say that the ruling monarchy must make serious changes to the way it is running the country.
The protesters want an end to corruption, torture, and unemployment. The Monarchy is desperate to avoid an Egyptian- or Tunisian-style revolution.

[Emirates 24/7] Libyan rebels say they are in full control of the western port city of Misrata and that they are holding off for now on advancing toward the capital.
Meanwhile the head of Perfidious Albion's armed forces, Gen. David Richards, urged NATO to widen the scope of its bombing campaign in Libya by targeting infrastructure facilities to increase pressure on Moammar Gadhafi's regime. Richards' remarks were published on Sunday.
In Misrata, rebel fighter Abdel Salam is describing the situation in Misrata as "frozen," with rebels in control and not initiating any major festivities.
The rebels control most of eastern Libya, while Gadhafi controls most of the west, including the capital Tripoli. Misrata -- about 125 miles (200 kilometers) southeast of Tripoli -- is the only rebel stronghold in the west.

[Iran Press TV] NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the style of the American pants... warplanes have bombed southern Libyan capital of Tripoli as Perfidious Albion calls for the destruction of the country's infrastructure, Libyan state media says.
NATO targeted several regions in Libya on Saturday night, including the city of Aziziyah southwest of Tripoli, the News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported.
Libyan state media says civilian and military sites were targeted in raids in the regions of Bir al-Ghanam and Njila as well.
There were reports of casualties but no official details have yet been released.
Libya has been the scene of fierce fighting between forces loyal to Muammar Qadaffy and anti-regime revolutionaries since mid-February. The revolutionary forces seek an end to Qadaffy's decades-long rule.
The US and NATO forces have unleashed a punishing, UN-mandated aerial bombardment of Libya to pressure Qadaffy to give up power.
Meanwhile, ...back at the precinct house, Sergeant Maloney wasn't buying it. It was just too pat. It smelled phony... the head of Perfidious Albion's armed forces urged NATO to "up the ante" in Libya by widening its bombing campaigns to infrastructural targets.
In an interview with Sunday Telegraph, British Chief of the Defense Staff General David Richards said the move would be within the confines of the UN resolution authorizing Arclight airstrikes in Libya if Qadaffy was killed.
"The vice is closing on Qadaffy, but we need to increase the pressure further through more intense military action," he said.
"We now have to tighten the vice to demonstrate to Qadaffy that the game is up and he must go."
His comments come after Russia sharply criticized NATO's operations in Libya, saying civilian targets were being hit in violation of UN regulations.
On Friday, NATO warplanes dropped bombs on a civilian center in the key Libyan city of Brega, killing at least 16 people and wounding 40 others.

[Iran Press TV] The Libyan prime minister says the government is ready to accept a ceasefire should NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the style of the American pants... stop its air attacks on the North African country.
Baghdadi Mahmudi said on Sunday that Libya is keen for "an immediate ceasefire to coincide with a stop to the NATO bombardment and the acceptance of international observers," AFP reported.
The premier made the remarks after he met with UN special envoy to Libya Abdul-Ilah al-Khatib, who is on a mission to the African country to broker a ceasefire to put an end to several months of fighting between the loyalists of ruler Muammar Qadaffy and opposition forces.
UN chief the ephemeral Ban Ki-moon had earlier urged Mahmudi to stop killing civilians and called for "immediate verifiable ceasefire negotiations towards the peaceful resolution of the conflict and unimpeded access to humanitarian workers."
As the UN envoy arrived in Libya, NATO warplanes bombarded several regions including the city of Aziziyah southwest of Tripoli.
Mahmudi has accused NATO of "political liquidations, the unjust maritime siege, bombing of civilian sites and destruction of infrastructure."
Meanwhile, ...back at the fist fight, Jake ducked another roundhouse, then parried with his left, then with his right, finally with his chin... Perfidious Albion's chief of the Defense Staff said NATO must intensify its military campaign in Libya to remove Qadaffy from power.
General Richards says although the attacks do not target Qadaffy himself, if he were killed in one of the raids, it would be "within the rules."

Anybody remember a guy named Spiro Agnew? And Nixon, wasnt there a guy named Nixon who had to get on a helicopter eventually, or something?
I loved the movie of it too. Subtle drum roll music and Alexander Haig carrying a briefcase walks through an empty White House with nuthin' but cigarette butts on the floor, a resignation paper in his folio, down halls ( drums echoing his heels as he paces the dim empty corridors of power)...up the stairs. A pause before the door...ominous , the drums fall silent and then Haig opens the door( whatever happened to Haig anyway, I mean AFTER he ran the concentration Camps in VietNam and the Tiger Pits for Grandma and the kids?).
Haig opens the door and Nixon is on his hands and knees crawling on the floor under his desk looking for his spilled prescription of Valium and playing Victory at Sea at the top of the sound scale. Unshaven and his eyes unfocused. Sign here. Leads Nixon away by the hand.
Oh, I remember they rewarded Haig for doing "anything" in Vietnam by making him White House Chief of Staff. Even Reagan had a use for a man who would do "anything".
Not that Kadaffy or Haig or Nixon...or even a man of such credentials as Spiro Agnew should be spoken of in the same breath.... but you ask yourself questions like why do men who get to the top of the political scale always seem to be men who will do "anything"? And there is no doubt anywhere that Kadaffy is a man who literally will do ANYTHING to stay in power. He isnt going to "step down" , kiddies.....he's going to have to be knocked off. It isnt going to be "negotiated".
Betcha',.... but we dont want to talk about all that nasty stuff about shooting heads of state tap tap. More Tea?

Damn, I hate it when people talk about Nixon that way. You like Obama better?

I don't believe it was Nixon's intention to lead us into socialism.
I don't know what his intentions were. I only know the effect of the policies implemented by his administration. And they had the effect of leading us into socialism and doing substantial harm to our method of governing ourselves.

Nixon made the mistake of allowing his underlings to spy on a political rival to find out what the content of said rival's speeches would be ahead of time. BFD.

Nixon also made the mistakes of abandoning the Bretton Woods Gold Exchange Standard, imposing wage and price controls, recognizing Red China, federal revenue sharing to states, indexation of Social Security, creation of Supplemental Security Income, creating the EPA, the Clean Air Act, OSHA, the Council on Environmental Quality, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, school busing for racial integration, affirmative action, prevented India from fully defeating Pakistan, sponsored detente, diddled over the shape of a conference table while thousands of conscripts died in vain, brought us the first oil crisis, the 55 mph speed limit, gas lines like we've never seen since, almost became the second president impeached and instead became the first to resign, appointed Warren Burger and Harry Blackmun,and Gerald Ford, paving the way for James Earl Carter to win the presidency.
Ended the war in Vietnam. It took him a while but he ended it. It was the donks in Congress who later refused to arm South Vietnam.
Ended the draft. These things take time.
In 1973 when the Israelis got into trouble it was Richard Nixon who flew C-130s full of materiel into the war zone to rearm them. Would Obama do that? We just don't know, do we?
May have embellished affirmative action but that was really LBJ's baby. If you wanna talk about flawed characters, warmongers and crooks let's talk about LBJ and his predecessor JFK.
EPA may be a weapon against business in the hands of Obama but at the time I think we needed it. Call me a tree hugger if you want. But the air at that time in southern California was literally sickening. It's better now. These days I enjoy watching the pelicans fly over the waves. In the early 1970s there weren't many of them left.
As for China, recognizing the fact that they exist is one thing. Allowing them to dump their plastic crap in our country is a whole other thing and that came later as did borrowing trillions of dollars from them.
There's no getting around the fact that Nixon was a flawed character. But as bad as things were back then I felt safer with him in the White House than I do now.
#13
But the point is, what does de Medici3489 know about it? I remember all kinds of rabid Nixon haters back in those days. They'd spout all kinds of bullshit when the didn't have the vaguest clue what the hell they were talking about. I didn't like that war but I didn't much care for the likes of Jane Fonda either.

The gulf countries, and the U.A.E. in particular, dont have a lot of military experience. It would make sense if they looked outside their borders for help, said one Obama administration official who knew of the operation. They might want to show that they are not to be messed with.
Still, it is not clear whether the project has the United States official blessing. Legal experts and government officials said some of those involved with the battalion might be breaking federal laws that prohibit American citizens from training foreign troops if they did not secure a license from the State Department.
There ya go. And the Slimes knows they didn't go through the State Department, or the Slimes would've published this story long ago. Left in the dark, this time?

They suck at military things beyond oppressing the locals. Makes sense that they would outsource the work. It is the future. Just another bit of globalization - the flow of labor, capital and jobs.

I can imagine Xe, and companies like it, developing into an American Foreign Legion, somewhat modeled off the FFL. But the same rules would have to apply. They are "too American", which limits them in some ways.
They would have to be offshore to avoid lawfare. They could only deploy to areas with bilateral anti-ICC treaties with the US. They would have to have former US officers in charge. And their transport and logistics would have to be provided by the US military.
Other mercenary corporations would have a lot fewer problems.

Ah Yes, Ghurkas...bad bad boys when their blood is up, dangerous when completely calm.
There are some freaking bad dudes in the FFL...geez...ex CIA, ex Spetznaz, ex Stasi, you name it, they've got them.
Someone send a memo to the Moslem Brotherhood...
Do not mess with French Citizens or you'll get a French speaking Russian at the door...in a very bad mood.

This dude is about fifty years behind the information-curve, not to mention somewhat wrong.
Oman's had contract military personnel (actually, they are or were seconded) from the UK for decades, plus from other nations. Bahrain has used Pakistanis, as have the Sauds. Other UAE states also use contract personnel of Commonwealth origin.
The Gulf countries don't have much in-house military experience, because it is intended to be that way.
[Yemen Post] One soldier was killed and others injured when a masked gunman shot up a security personnel in Yemen's Lahj province. Eyewitnesses said the gunman fired at the personnel while riding a cycle of violence in Zunjbar town.
A security sources said the attack bore the hallmarks of Al-Qaeda which killed in the last few days more than ten soldiers in Marib and Baidha'a provinces.
Taking advantage of the situation amid the persistent unrest for months in most of the Yemeni cities, AQAQ has recently stepped up attacks against security and army targets, mainly in southern and southeastern regions, leaving many dead and injured.
In response, the authorities launched a massive hunt for suspects and clashed with a number of them killing and injuring several.

[Yemen Post] The GCC Secretary General Abdul Latif Al-Zayani met on Sunday with head of the Dialogue Preparatory Committee Muhammad BaSondwa and discussed suitable approaches to start implementing a seemingly failed GCC initiative to end the Yemeni crisis.
" I received Al-Zayani personally and told him that the Joint Meeting Parties, the opposition bloc, saw that dealing with the third version of the initiative just wastes the time," BaSondwa said, as he added that the opposition had rejected the fourth version in full also.
Al-Zayani arrived in Sana'a on Saturday night in a new bid to revive the GCC West-backed initiative.
It was his third visit to the country after the proposal was initially offered in early April. On the previous visits, Al-Zayani tried to convince President-for-Life Saleh
... exemplifying the Arab's propensity to combine brutality with incompetence...
to finalize the deal as soon as possible as the unrest continued to further affect the country, but in every time he failed.
President-for-Life Saleh ... exemplifying the Arab's propensity to combine brutality with incompetence... told the GCC head in late April that he will not sign the power transition deal as president of Yemen, but as head of the governing party.
The decision raised fears whether the deal will hold and triggered the opposition to warn of protest escalation and urge the GCC countries to pressure Saleh to sign.
The JMP told Al-Zanayni today that the GCC initiative does not have any meaning and that he should talk to Saleh, not them, to start its implementation.
Earlier, Al-Zayani met with officials from the General People's Congress, the ruling party, including President Saleh's political advisor Abdul Karim Al-Eryani.
Al-Eryani was said to have told Al-Zayani that the ruling party proposed a mechanism
to implement the initiative calling for timeframes to address the south and Saada issues and ending the protests and sit-ins before Saleh resigns.
The proposal was revealed earlier this month when the ruling party said that the initiative terms should be implemented in sequence.
Later tonight, Al-Zayani is expected to meet with President Saleh and Foreign Minister within the caretaker government Abu Bakr Al-Qirbi, as hope faints his effort will put an end to the current situation in Yemen.
On Friday, Qatar withdrew from the initiative, justifying the move due to the delays and stalling of President Saleh to finalize it.
The youth-led protesters in the squares of change and freedom in many of the Yemeni cities rejected any deal not ensuring an immediate, unconditional resignation of Saleh.
Under the GCC proposal, Saleh will resign in a month since reaching a final agreement with the opposition in return for immunity from prosecution granted to him and officials in his regime after leaving office.
It also called for forming a national unity government from the ruling and opposition parties.
Meantime, the antigovernment protesters said they will continue their escalation plan and that next Tuesday they will control key public buildings in various cities.
In the last few weeks, the security forces and the government supporters stepped up the crackdown on them, leaving tens killed and thousands injured.

[Iran Press TV] Thousands of Yemeni protesters hold fresh anti-government rallies in the capital Sana'a, demanding President President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh ... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower... steps down.
The demonstrators, who were joined by a group of Elite Republican Guards, also rejected efforts by Arab states in the Persian Gulf to revive a plan to end the crisis, Rooters reported.
"I say to the [P]GCC Secretary-General Mr. [Abdullatif] al-Zayani and the rest of the [Persian] Gulf countries that did not withdraw (from [P]GCC plan) thanks, but no thanks because you did not present an initiative that meet the demands and needs of the Yemeni people," said a protester.
"We only hear from Abdullatif al-Zayani that he will introduce amendments in favor of the regime, we think that this plan does not respect the rights of the Yemeni people who went out demanding the oust of President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh," another protester said.
Al-Zayani arrived in Sanaa on Saturday for a three-day visit to try and resurrect the power-transfer deal, which the Persian Gulf bloc brokered between Saleh and opposition leaders.
Qatar pulled out of the plan on Thursday, citing "stalling, continued escalation, and lack of wisdom" as the reason for its change of heart.
Saleh has clung to power for over 32 years despite defections from politicians, army officers and tribal leaders.

[Iran Press TV] Police have tossed in the calaboose two people in Northern Ireland in a mission to crush dissident republican activity in the region.
The pair were jugged under terrorism legislation by detectives from the serious crime branch on Friday morning, British media reported.
A 25-year-old man, from the Lurgan area, and a 26-year-old woman from the Armagh area have been taken to Antrim serious crime suite for questioning, said Police Service of Northern Ireland.
Meanwhile detectives investigating dissident activity are continuing to quiz veteran republican Marian Price.
She was jugged in west Belfast Thursday under terrorism legislation by detectives from the serious crime branch and is also being held in Antrim.
Price, 57, and her sister Dolours were among those convicted of a 1973 bombing outside the Old Bailey in which one person was killed and almost 200 others injured.
She split with the mainstream republicans of Sinn Fein around the time of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.
She is now a front man for the 32 County Sovereignty Movement, considered to be the Real IRA's political wing.

A group of terrorists who trained in Somalia returned to Britain to carry out a wave of attacks which were demanded by Osama Bin Laden before his death.
The gang, dubbed the 'London Boys', were taught by a top Al-Qaeda explosives expert in the war-torn country and include Reza Afsharzadegan, a former IT student from Ladbroke Grove, West London. He is married with a child and moved to Britain as a young boy from Iran.
Leaked documents reveal how the 'sleeper operatives' were trained by an Al-Qaeda official who is wanted by the FBI with a £3m ($5m) reward for his capture.
The IT student and three other men, Mohammed Ezzouek, Hamza Chentouf and Shahajan Janjua, were rescued from Somalia in 2007 after they were imprisoned while trying to flee after the US ordered air strikes on Islamists who took over Mogadishu. Thanks for the free tix, infidel.
The Foreign Office spent tens of thousands of pounds on a jet to bring them home but the latest revelations will put them under the spotlight once again and raise questions about why they weren't put under further scrutiny.

I imagine that lots of al-Qaeda types around the world are suddenly going to come up with "messages from bin Laden before he died", proclaiming them big poobah, demanding that the poobah's followers do everything he tells them to, and especially that they get money to give to the poobah.

Just like the U.A.E and friends. Except they, unlike the UK, will have the dosh to pay for it all. I expect outsourcing national security will become more and more common in the very near future.
On a ranch in a part of northern Guatemala, likely by drug cartels, national police said Sunday. The massacre took place early Sunday in the town of Caserio La Bomba in Peten province near the Mexico border. Among the 29 dead were two children and two women.
Police are investigating whether the attack is related to Saturday's killing in Peten of Haroldo Leon, the brother of alleged Guatemalan drug boss Juan Jose "Juancho" Leon.
"Juancho" Leon was killed in 2008 in an ambush that Guatemalan authorities blame on Mexico's Zetas drug cartel, which has increasingly wrested control of the drug trade outside Mexico, at times by eliminating their competition.
Guatemalan police said the victims of Sunday's massacre were bound and their bodies showed signs of torture. They were believed to have worked on the farm. Police found a message written in blood at the scene saying: "Salguero, we're coming for you." Police did not say who Salguero was.

This isn't the work of Guatemalans, but Mexicans moving in to Guatemala. The Guatemalans got over a 50-year civil war, and they are sick of fighting.

Whereas you believe all we have to do is legalize crack sales for adults 10 years old or younger and all these murderous assholes are going to go back to their true passion, knitting...
#6
The difference: fight the thugs now or legalize the poison and pay the thugs top dollar. The thugs will go on butchering people. Think the thugs will go all nice and legit if we legalize the stuff? Put your bong away, wake up and smell the coffee.
Oh, and Neighbor B, whom I have mentioned here before, after trying and trying and trying to get it right and raise her kids properly, caved in and started doing the stuff. The confusion at Neighbor B's house is heartbreaking.
Why the hell would anybody want to make it any easier for people to get hold of this stuff and destroy their families?

[Al Jazeera] Gunmen have killed at least 27 people - decapitating most of the victims - in a Guatemalan village near the border with Mexico in one of the worst mass killings in a generation, local police said.
The killing of the 25 men and two women took place early on Sunday in the town of Caserio La Bomba in Peten province near the Mexico border, Donald Gonzalez, a National Civil Police front man, said.
"This is the worst massacre we have seen in modern times," Gonzalez said.
Police said the slayings could be linked to the killing on Saturday of 56-year-old Haroldo Waldemar Leon, the brother of suspected narco Juan Jose Leon, who was bumped off in a rural area of northern Guatemala.
Juan Jose Leon was wanted by the US Drug Enforcement Administration, but was killed in 2008. Police linked Juan Jose Leon's killing to the powerful Mexican narco mob, Las Zetas.
Guatemala's northern border is an active drug transfer point for cocaine moving north mainly the US from South America.
Authorities said police and soldiers were searching the area on Sunday for the unidentified attackers and did not offer a motive for the attack.
Drug war
"This is a terrible event that we must clarify and investigate regardless of the consequences, whoever is the author of this massacre," Claudia Paz y Paz, Guatemala's prosecutor general, said.
In February, the government lifted a two-month-long state of siege that it had declared in Alta Verapaz province, which neighbours Peten province, during which security forces were sent to quell drug-related violence.
The state of siege gave the army emergency powers - including permission to detain suspects without warrants - and resulted in the arrest of at least 20 suspected members of the Zetas gang.
The Zetas are a group of ex-soldiers who began as hit men for Mexico's Gulf narco mob before breaking off on their own, quickly becoming one of Mexico's most violent gangs and spreading a reign of terror into Central America.

[Emirates 24/7] South Korean police said Sunday they had placed in durance vile three men suspected of making homemade explosives that caused two minor blasts in Seoul last week.
The three men aged from their late 30s to early 50s are suspected of making two time bombs with butane gas canisters and putting them in luggage lockers at Seoul train station and an express terminal in the south of the capital.
No casualties were reported from the blasts that occurred about 30 minutes apart on Thursday, and damage was minor.
"The suspects aren't telling us about motives yet... the probe is still under way," a Seoul police officer told AFP, adding police examined footage from surveillance cameras and traced origins of kabooms left at the scenes.
The rare kabooms on Thursday prompted a nationwide search of major public transport hubs involving police commandos and sniffer dogs.
Acts of terrorism are extremely rare in South Korea, although North Korean agents have in the past carried out terror attacks on South Koreans overseas.

[Dawn] Talibs killed two men in Pakistain's restive tribal district after accusing them of spying for the United States, police officials said Sunday.
The bodies were found on road sides, one hacked into pieces, in the Nawi Adda and Boya areas of the Datta Khel region in North Wazoo, a remote tribal district bordering Afghanistan.
They were local rustics who had been captured after two separate US drone attacks in the region on Thursday and Friday, the officials said.
"A charred body of local primitive was found dumped on the road side in Nawi Adda area on Sunday morning with a note in Pashto language," said local tribal police official Jalaluddin -- who goes by one name.
The second body, which had been cut into pieces was found in Boya area, another local police official, Habibullah Kahn said.
Local intelligence officials also confirmed the incidents adding that the bodies were found with notes warning "all those spying for US will suffer the same fate."
Islamic Death Eaters frequently kidnap and kill rustics, accusing them of spying for the Pak government or US forces in Afghanistan, where Taliban fighters are leading an insurgency.
The US has branded the northwestern tribal area, which lies outside Pak government control, one of the most dangerous places on earth and a global headquarters of al Qaeda -- whose leader the late Osama bin Laden ... he's rotten though not quite forgotten... was killed by US forces in Pakistain on May 2.
The majority of forces of Evil are concentrated in North Waziristan, the most notorious hideout of the Afghan Taliban and al Qaeda, and where the United States wants the Pakistain military to launch a ground offensive.
But Pakistain says its troops are too overstretched to conduct a full assault.
