Taliban in Pakistan 'police killing' video

Footage appearing to show the execution-style killing of 16 policemen in the tribal north-west of Pakistan has been released by the Taliban.

The video shows policemen lined up on a hillside with their hands tied behind their backs in front of gunmen who berate them and then open fire on them.
The incident is said to date from June when militants crossed the Afghan border and captured police.
Pakistan's army spokesman told the BBC the video appears to be authentic.
