Militants kill two 'US spies' in Pakistan


Suspected militants shot dead two Pakistani men accused of spying for US troops in neighbouring Afghanistan, police said yesterday.

The bodies of two men, aged about 30, were found early yesterday by paramilitary soldiers near Khirgi checkpost in the northwestern town of Jandola which borders the South Waziristan tribal district, local police official Omar Hayat said.

A note found with the bodies read: "They were spying for Americans. They were involved in fake currency business and were enemies of 160 million (Pakistani) people."
