Kidnapped Pakistani workers were killed for alleged collaboration with American forces.

Evidence

Two other Pakistanis—Sajid Naeem and Raja Azad Khan, a truck driver and an airconditioning technician, respectively—were abducted shortly after Hafeez was released and held hostage on the charge that they had collaborated with the American oppressors. Earlier, other victims of kidnapping who had agreed to stop working in occupied Iraq also had been released, but as the strategy unfolded, it became increasingly desperate and lethal. For Naeem and Azad Khan, the unfortunate and grisly end came in videotaped beheadings. Both hailed from the Rawalkot district of Azad Kashmir in Pakistan and had worked for years for the Al Tamimi Group, a Saudi Arabian company in Kuwait. That these Pakistani workers were the product of yet another displacement, brought about by war and conflict between India and Pakistan in the disputed Kashmir region, had little significance to their captors. — Junaid Rana, Terrifying Muslims, 20
