PAKISTAN MILITIA PUBLICLY EXECUTES 'KIDNAPPERS'

a Pakistani Islamist militia executed four men by firing squad in Bara, in Pakistan's semi-autonomous tribal district of Khyber, after pronouncing them guilty of kidnapping and murder at a self-styled Islamic court. "Four blindfolded criminals with hands tied behind their backs were lined up outside the mosque. Four Lashkar fighters sprayed bullets, killing them on the spot," said witness Malik Qasim Khan Afridi.
