DERA ISMAIL KHAN: Militants on Wednesday dumped the mutilated body of a purported Afghan spy accused of collaborating on US drone strikes that killed prominent warlord Mullah Nazir in South Waziristan this month, an official said. The body of the man identified as Asmatullah Kharoti was found in Wana, South Waziristan Agency.
Local officials said he had been shot dead and there were wounds on his neck. Two notes on the body ordered the remains to be left on the roadside until 10:00am "so that everyone could see the fate of spies", and the second accused him of being a spy and being responsible for US drone attacks. "He is a spy and was giving information to US and ISAF forces in Afghanistan about our activities," the note lying beside the dead body said.
"He is responsible for the killing of five of our senior members, including Mullah Nazir, in drone attacks. He confessed that he installed chips in digital Qurans," the note added. Earlier, the strongest local commander in Wana, the headquarter of SWA, Mullah Nazir was killed in a US drone strike on Jan 2. He was known to be 'pro-Pakistan', focusing his attacks across the border to fight US, Nato and Afghan government troops in Afghanistan, and was accused of sheltering Al-Qaeda. Militants accused Kharoti of giving Nazir a digital Quran, fitted with chips to track his movements, during a meeting at an undisclosed location in Afghanistan. "He presented Nazir and others digital Qurans as a gift which were fitted with chips which help US drones strike their targets," a militant told.
It is worthy to mention that more than five hundred people had been killed in North and South Waziristan agencies under the allegations of spying for US and ISAF during the last six years.
