Pro-Taliban militants behead two tribal elders in Pak

Peshawar: Pro-Taliban militants have beheaded two of six tribal elders who were kidnapped a month ago from the lawless Aurakzai tribal region in northwest Pakistan, sources said on Thursday.
The bodies of tribal elders Gul Haleem and Fazal Jameel were found in the Aurakzai Agency today. The decapitated body of another of the kidnapped tribal elders, Jannat Khan, was found in the region two days ago.

The whereabouts of the three other abducted tribal elders is still not known, the sources said.

The Taliban have killed dozens of `maliks` or tribal elders in attacks across the tribal belt over the past two years.
