It says the slain men were linked to the 2007 bomb attack on a Pakistan Air Force bus in which several people were killed. There was no immediate comment from the Pakistani Taliban, who have carried out scores of attacks including the 2007 assault. Human rights activists have accused Pakistani authorities of extra-judicial killings in the past.
