PESHAWAR Pakistan (Reuters) - Pakistani Taliban militants have executed 21 paramilitary force men who were captured in attacks on their posts late last week, government officials said on Sunday.

The men, who were kidnapped on Friday in attacks on three checkpoints near the city of Peshawar, were lined up before being shot one-by-one, officials said.

"They were tied up and blindfolded," Naveed Anwar, a senior administration official in the Khyber region, said by telephone.

One man was badly wounded but survived, Anwar said, adding that the 21 bodies had been found after local tribesmen notified security services.

"They were lined up and shot in the head," said Habibullah Arif, another local official. He said the wounded man and another man had managed to escape.

A Taliban spokesman claimed responsibility and pledged to carry out further attacks on Pakistani security forces.

"We killed all the kidnapped men after a council of senior clerics gave a verdict for their execution. We didn't make any demand for their release because we don't spare any prisoners who are caught during fighting," said Ihsanullah Ihsan.

The men were from a paramilitary force recruited from members of ethnic Pashtun tribes in northwestern Pakistan. The militias support the government in its efforts against Islamist militants battling the state.

The killing of the men followed two high-profile attacks in Peshawar this month. Suicide bombers attacked Peshawar's airport on December 15 and a bomb killed a senior Pashtun nationalist politician and eight other people at a rally on December 22.

The violence underscores the Taliban's ability to carry out high-profile attacks in major cities even as the amount of territory they control has shrunk over the past three years.

Wow. interesting article.

As long as were posting stuff from 1000 years ago, that's almost as bad as when the Christian crusaders cooked and ate their captives at the villiage of Ma'arra. Although they went a little too far eating the children if you ask me. I've occasionally read that the Eucharist was less symbolic in those days. I wonder if that was the case here?

That post is a fail in so many ways. Do you know how Muhammad is? Jesus wasn't leading the Crusaders. Now google Muhammad so you get a clue. I'l give you a hint on who Muhammad was. "Koran".

Try reading your own link again, genius.

Sad bin Muadh wasn't Muhammad pbuh. And the scripture cited by Sad bin Muadh for the legality of those executions didn't come from the Quran, but rather from Deuteronomy.

So what. You chose to bring religion into this, thus the premise of this whole thread became fail. That's what happens to threads that begin in hypocrisy. Trying to blame religion for the actions of this terrorist organization is pathetic. They are criminals and they are acting like it.

Why don't you post an article about the drug lords in Mexico who brutally decapitate their victims. Those guy's are all Christians. Is decapitation of victims one of the tenets of Christianity?

Or would a better explanation be that criminals are not the most upstanding examples of the society (and by extension religion) that they are part of?

To compare apples to apples, you would need to ask how many people did self-purported followers of Jesus behead. But that concept may be beyond your ken...

According to Mubrakpuri, Stillman, Peters and Adil and Muir, when Sa'd arrived, his fellow Aws pleaded for leniency towards the Qurayza and on his request pledged that they would abide by his decision. He then pronounced that "the men should be killed, the property divided, and the women and children taken as captives". Muhammad approved of the ruling, calling it similar to God's judgment. Mubarakpuri states that the tribe who reached puberty were beheaded.
