Suspected Islamic militants in north-western Pakistan have beheaded two women they accused of being prostitutes, police say.
The bodies of the two women were found by villagers on the outskirts of the city of Bannu.
A note found on the bodies accused the women of “acts of obscenity”, a term that usually refers to prostitution.
The region is a known base for militants who want to impose their interpretation of Islamic law.
