SWAT, Oct 26: Militants on Friday publicly executed four law-enforcement personnel in a village, 16km west of Mingora, the district headquarters, and exchanged heavy gunfire with security forces in a nearby sub-district.
“It was gruesome,” was how a resident of Shakkardarra described the scene of beheading of the law-enforcement personnel.Requesting anonymity, he told Dawn on phone that masked militants armed with rocket-propelled grenades and assault rifles brought the four men to the village at around 5pm, fires a few shots in the air and then beheaded them.
The men, said to be in their mid-20s, had their hands tied together. They were pushed to the ground on the main Matta-Mingora road and had their heads chopped off.
“Let this serves as a warning to all those who spy for the government or help the government. All sons of Bush will meet similar fate,” the resident quoted one of the militants announcing shortly before the execution.
“We watched the gory scene in shock and horror. We felt so helpless. There was fear and gloom in the village,” he said.
There was no information about the identity of the beheaded men. Locals said that two of them were from police and from the haircut and the sandals of the other two it appeared that they belonged to a paramilitary force.
“The bodies are still lying on the road and militants are standing nearby,” he said.
Military Spokesman Maj-Gen Waheed Arshad denied that any paramilitary personnel was missing or had been killed.
However, NWFP Home Secretary Badshah Gul Wazir said at a news briefing in the evening that three Frontier Constabulary personnel and one policeman, who had been kidnapped by militants from Sambat and Baryan in Matta sub-district earlier in the day, were ‘reported’ to have been executed.He said two civilians had been killed and another wounded in a crossfire between militants and security forces in Imam Dheri, the village of Maulana Fazlullah.
He denied reports that the government had launched any operation and said that militants in the village had fired on troops who were patrolling the area.
People in Shakkardarra said that militants of Jaish-i-Muhammad, who had set up checkposts on the main road and took positions on hills, seized the four men during the checking of vehicles.
No group has so far claimed responsibility for the execution, but Maulana Naddar, a lieutenant of Maulana Fazlullah, said in a broadcast on an FM radio that the men had been executed to avenge the death of three militants killed early in the day.
Earlier, security forces and militants holding positions on the two sides of the Swat river exchanged heavy gunfire.
The military spokesman said that army troops deployed in the troubled region were not being used in the area. However, local people claimed that mortar shells were fired as gunship helicopters hovered over the area.
Maulana Fazlullah, son-in-law of incarcerated leader of Maulana Sufi Mohammad, is reported to have gone underground. It is said that he is trying to garner support from the nearby district of Kohistan.
Local people said that paramilitary forces had occupied a militant training camp located in the mountains of Shah Dagai in the Khwazakhela sub-district.
Meanwhile, the NWFP cabinet met in Peshawar to discuss the situation.
Agencies add: The home secretary said that militants fired rockets at a chopper carrying IGFC Maj-Gen Mohammad Alam Khattak who had come to inspect troops deployed in the Fizza Ghat area.Military spokesman Waheed Arshad said: “The clash erupted after militants fired at paramilitary forces setting up checkposts; the forces retaliated and asked for helicopter cover. “We provided them with surveillance and gunship helicopters to give cover to fighting troops.”
Sounds like either a DNC press release, or a hidden code calling for the assassination of President Bush and Governor Bush. (or both)
Intentional or a strangely appropriate slip of the fingers?
Pun intended....
F**K Islam. That’s about my only response nowadays. Islam is succeeding in creating the environment for a worldwide holy war against this evil.
There, I fixed it.
Disgusting. Kill them! Probably IQ’s of 80 or less. AND believe anything that they are told..Brainwashed pack of animals.

There you go, picking on the DU again...
Yeah, probably from the same lot : )
The thing is, MSM is hiding all this "religion of peace" crap going on all over the world. If the American people knew a tenth of what is going on every day, they wouldn't think too kindly about how the Democrats coddle up to the ROP, and maybe would learn what Islam really is, instead of the crap we see media/ Democrats/ leftist moonbats are doing now. They are actually DEFENDING this evil blood cult. Even the sheiks and Mullahs don't try to argue the meaning of "kill the infidels where ever you find them, religion, all of it, is for "allah" only in the entire world" as much as DemonRATS do.
Maybe that is why Oprah and other “media” are starting to question why polygamy is illegal in America. They are trying to overturn the law, opening the door for their Muzzie pals to set up their multiple wife harems here in America. Hell, they’ve already built a lot of super mosks in just about every state.
Out with Christians, in with Muzzies. It’s only a matter of time if people don’t smarten up and realize what’s on the horizon.
Once the fruits, lezbo’s and lazy, screw anything with a hole in it leftist moonbats secure America for the Muzzies, they will be the first totaste their swords.
So - - Pakistan, like Mexico, is run, not by the government, but by the Mob.
Since Bush has been declared the default "cause of everything bad as we know it", I foresee the day when a common curse, rather than "dag nab it" or "dadblamed diddybopping son of a brick", will be condensed to just "bushit" as in "Aw, bushit...just bushit, I ain't doing this bushit no more...do you bushit hear what the bushit I'm saying, bushit?"
Probably not the legacy he's looking for, but I guess it beats what Mr. Crapper is famous for.
The ragheads should start publishing their daily beheadings like box scores: who beheaded how many of whom, for what pretended offense, in what locale. It’s taking up way too much ink writing story after story about this barbarity. There must be a way to summarize it for the few folks who remain curious about the savage way of life.
Paki ping
What it sounds like is a country full of people who are to weak, scared, and powerless to defend themselves against the bullies in their midst. I’m probably still in the “nuke em and let God sort em out” camp.
Reality is AQ is more feared in these regions than our side is (or those quasi aligned with us).
They don’t have a chance.Send in the railroad.
