Islamabad, March 1 (DPA) Suspected militants beheaded a teacher of a madrassa in Pakistan's North-West Frontier Province after accusing him of working for US security agencies, media reports said Thursday.
The teacher's body and severed head were found Tuesday by a roadside near Jandola in the tribal Tank district, about 250 km south-west of the provincial capital, Peshawar, the Dawn newspaper reported.
The body was reportedly stuffed into a sack while the head lay in the open and an attached Urdu-language note identified the victim as an Afghan teacher of a madrassa in the restive North Waziristan region.
The killers also wrote "hypocrite" on the forehead of the man, whose death was "a result of spying for Americans", the note said.
Militants in Pakistan's tribal areas have beheaded a number of people in recent months for allegedly providing intelligence to US forces fighting Taliban insurgents in neighbouring Afghanistan.
