Pakistani authorities say 15 people were killed in violence across the country Monday.
In the Datta Khel area of the North Waziristan tribal region, Taliban militants shot and killed four men after accusing them of spying. Local authorities said they found the four bullet-riddled bodies with notes attached saying the men were killed for acting as U.S. spies.
In southwestern Baluchistan province, gunmen on motorcycles attacked a camp for road construction workers near the southwestern port city of Gwadar, killing 11 and wounding two others.
Authorities say the victims worked for the military-run Frontier Works Organization, which undertakes civil engineering projects across the country.
The attackers managed to flee and no one claimed responsibility for the attack.
Also on Monday, officials said more than 16 people had been killed in attacks in the southern port city of Karachi since Saturday. Authorities say those killed included activists with the Muttahida Qaumi Movement or MQM, a partner in Sindh province’s ruling coalition.
The MQM, which largely represents the Urdu-speaking community, and the rival Awami National Party, representing ethnic Pashtuns, are blaming each other for the latest political violence.
