The Taliban shot dead a 30-year-old man accused of spying for U.S. forces across the border in Afghanistan, media reports said.
They said the man, who was abducted from Miranshah in North Waziristan a month ago after a suspected American drone attack on a militant hideout in the area, was gunned down before dawn Thursday and his body dumped on a roadside in the same area. A note placed near the body described him as a 'U.S. spy.'
Earlier Wednesday, in North Waziristan, the Taliban released a senior government official who was abducted last month from Mir Ali district.
"Asmatullah Wazir was freed unconditionally last night," a local official said, adding that his release had followed official pressure on his abductors.
Kill one of their own and label him to scare the populace.
Maybe he was giving information to the U.S.
They tortured him for a month. And we can’t waterboard?
Or maybe the real U.S. spy framed him to take the suspicion of himself.
Waiting for the so called peace protesters to rally against this war crime.
WAITING. WAITING. WAITING...
Maybe so, but I’d like to think if this guy risked and lost his life for the U.S., he deserves our honor.
I agree, it's just impossible to know until our intelligence forces declassify information years from now.
I agree with you, no way one of our spies would get caught. He definitely found someone to replace him or they’re just putting a name on him for troop morale.
