Suspected Taliban militants lined up and shot 21 policemen on a cricket pitch in Pakistan on Saturday night, although no group has yet claimed responsibility for the killing.
The murdered men were kidnapped last Thursday after rocket-propelled grenade attacks on two security posts.
Naveed Akbar Khan, a local government official, told the AFP news agency:
"We found 21 bullet-riddled bodies of security personnel in an uninhabited area. One was wounded and admitted to hospital, while another managed to escape."
Another official, Gul Shehzad, added: "The hands ... were tied with rope before they were shot."
