Left as a warning to others, suspected 'U.S. spy' killed by al-Qaeda militants is chained to football goalposts after being shot dead

Al Qaeda militants have executed a Yemeni man accused of being an infiltrator and tied him to a football goal as a ‘warning’ to others, security officials say.

The unidentified man was accused of spying on al Qaeda for the U.S. and was shot dead in the town of Shahr in Yemen’s southeastern Hadhramout province.

Security officials say the man was killed on Thursday by a militant firing squad and his body was tied to the goal for public display by the militants.
