ISLAMABAD — Taliban insurgents have released a video showing them killing 16 Pakistani men captured in a raid in a northwestern province last month, a spokesman for the Pakistani military said Monday.
An insurgent accuses the men, most of whom appear to be police officers, of killing six children in the Swat district. A quick burst of gunfire follows and the men fall to the ground.
No Taliban group has yet publicly claimed responsibility for the video.
Pakistani officials said last month that hundreds of Taliban insurgents had crossed over the border from Afghanistan and attacked a police post June 1. Last year, an Internet video emerged that showed men in Pakistani military uniforms killing six young men, apparently in Swat, where the military had begun an operation to drive out the Taliban. The Pakistani military said the video was not authentic. The New York Times
