ISLAMABAD, May 2 (KUNA) -- Suspected Taliban militants Wednesday blew up a
hairdresser shop in a Pakistani tribal agency and in another incident beheaded
Afghan refugee for spying on them for US troops, said officials.
Militants hurled a hand-grenade at a hairdresser shop in Dera Adam Khel
tribal agency, causing no life loss but damaging it badly, security officials
told KUNA.
They said owner of the shop had been receiving threatening letters from
Taliban, warning him to close down his business as shaving off beards is
un-Islamic.
In a related incident, they said further, militants kidnapped and beheaded
an Afghan refugee in North Waziristan tribal agency on charges of spying for
US troops in Afghanistan.
His body was found Wednesday near a military checkpost at Gorrwak village,
they added. (end)
