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 open fire on them.

Pakistan's army spokesman told the BBC the video appeared to be authentic.
