ISLAMABAD, Feb. 19 (Xinhua) -- Pakistani Taliban Saturday released video of the shooting of a former officer of the country's intelligence agency, who had been kidnapped in March last year in the North Waziristan tribal region.

A Taliban fighter was shown in the video while firing at the slain former officer of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Col. (retired) Sultan Ameer Tarar, commonly known as Colonel Imam, in the presence of chief of Pakistani Taliban, Hakimullah Mehsud.

Col. Imam and another former ISI official, squadron leader (retired) Khalid Khawaja, had gone to North Waziristan along with a British TV journalist, Asad Qureshi, to make a documentary on the Pakistani Taliban and victims of the U.S. drone strikes when they were kidnapped in March 2010.

Later, an unknown militant organization, Asian Tigers, claimed responsibility for the kidnapping and accused Khalid Khawaja of spying for the CIA. He was subsequently shot dead on April 30 near Mir Ali town.
