Up to 700 people in a tribal region of north-west Pakistan watched the Taliban publicly execute a man accused of killing two brothers, officials say.
Masked militants shot the man, blindfolded and bound, dead at a football ground in Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan.
Militants in Pakistan's tribal areas have killed scores of people accused of spying for the US in recent years.
But such public executions by the Taliban are rare.
The BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad says that the latest execution highlights the power the Taliban wields in the region and reflects the growing power and confidence of the militants.
