Authorities in north west Pakistan today said a local Taliban militia killed 22 members of a rival tribe and left their bodies dumped on a roadside.

The bodies were discovered outside the town of Jandola, following their abduction earlier this week.

About 27 people from a pro-government tribe were taken by militants loyal to notorious Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud when they overran the town on Monday.

"Some have bullet wounds but there were some who were killed with
knives," Barkatullah Marvat, the top government official in the region, told Reuters.

The abducted men were members of the Bhittani tribe and belonged to a government-run group promoting peace.

"It was inevitable they would be killed because they were very active and they had an old tribal feud with the Mehsuds," the official said.
