KARAM KOT, Pakistan — A former Pakistani intelligence officer sympathetic to al-Qaeda and the Taliban was found shot dead Friday in a northwestern tribal region several weeks after he was abducted by a previously unknown militant group called the Asian Tigers, officials and witnesses said.

Khalid Khawaja disappeared in late March with another ex-intelligence official called Sultan Amir Tarar and a filmmaker. There was no word on the fate of the two others.

A printed note attached to the body accused Khawaja of spying for the CIA and Pakistan’s main spy agency, Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI.
