For speaking out against Islamic supremacist thugs, a schoolteacher in Pakistan’s tribal area of South Waziristan got his head hacked off.

Islamabad - Suspected Islamic militants captured and beheaded a schoolteacher in Pakistan’s Afghan border area for allegedly spying for the United States, said an official on Wednesday.

The man’s body was found early on Tuesday in a large sack dumped by a road near Jandola, a town in the South Waziristan tribal district, said the local security official. He asked not to be identified due to the sensitive nature of his job. …

A note found with the beheaded man’s body identified him as “Akhtar Usman, the one who spied for America,” said the official. He said the forehead of the man’s severed head was inscribed with the word for “hypocrite” in Urdu, Pakistan’s main language.

Usman, in his 30s, was a teacher at an Islamic school in nearby North Waziristan and was known to have spoken out against militants in the area.
