MINGORA, Pakistan, May 3 (Reuters) - Pakistani Taliban have beheaded two government officials in the northwestern Swat Valley in revenge for the killing of two insurgent commanders by security forces, a militant spokesman said on Sunday.
Authorities struck a peace deal in February aimed at ending militant violence in the former tourist valley of Swat but the militants have refused to disarm and pushed out of the valley into neighbouring districts.
The Pakistani Taliban aggression raised alarm in the United States and in Islamabad, and a week ago the security forces launched an offensive to expel militants from two of Swat's neighbouring districts.
The two government officials were kidnapped and beheaded on Saturday evening in Khuwaza Kheil, a village 18 km (10 miles) north of the valley's main town of Mingora, said town police chief Danishwar Khan.
Their bodies were dumped beside a road.

Did they waterboard them fisrt? If they did not, then this is not news. [/dripping sarcasm]
The only deal worth striking with the Taliban comes out of the barrel of a gun.
“Taliban behead two Pakistani officials in Swat”
The Messiah knows how to talk to them. I feel safe. /sarc
Hussein's approach.
Just so I’m clear... these “miltants” don’t qualify as “moderate Taliban” under the Appeaser of Chief’s “let’s be friends and talk” diplomacy strategery, correct?
It's respect for other peoples cultures. We shake hands, or if you are President Zero, bow to foreign Kings. Taliban culture, is different - they chop heads off.
It would be discrimination to say that it's better to shake hands than cut heads off, as that implies our culture is superior.
If you don't get with the plan, you will learn the error of your ways in our soon-to-be-implemented re-education camps.

We should see that two Taliban are beheaded.
But amabo says we’s safe for nukes.
