Taliban militants on Sunday handed over to Pakistani officials the body of a Polish man who was beheaded in February after being held by the hardliners for months, officials said.
Geologist Piotr Stanczak, 42, was working in Pakistan for a Polish oil and natural gas exploration company when he was seized in the volatile northwest of the country last September. His abductors killed his driver and his bodyguard.
His decapitation on February 7 – which was filmed by his captors and was the first of a Pole by Islamic militants – provoked a furious reaction from Warsaw, which slammed Islamabad's "apathy" over tackling terrorism.
Stanczak's body was handed over to officials in the town of Razmak, located about 40 miles south of Miranshah, the main town in the restive North Waziristan tribal district bordering Afghanistan, an official said.
It came as Pakistan launched a new offensive against militants in the Swat Valley.
"Taliban handed over the body of the Polish engineer to the local administration," a security official said.
The official said the body was flown out of the area by helicopter but would not disclose the destination for security reasons.
In Islamabad, a Polish diplomat said that the embassy was awaiting further details about the recovery of Stanczak's body.
Poland had offered a one-million-zloty (£197,000) reward for information leading to the capture of Taliban militants who beheaded Stanczak.
Warsaw had also requested US assistance to help capture Stanczak's killers.
Poland is a close ally of Washington and has sent hundreds of troops to Pakistan's neighbour Afghanistan to battle the Taliban there as part of a Nato force.

Well, it was the worst Torture I have heard of...the Taliban don’t use Anesthesia when they cut your head off...ya know ?
Or beheaded by an American.
I’m sure this beheading of a helpless prisoner — will draw the immediate attention of the U.N., NATO, ACLU, etc, etc, etc.....
NO?
Oh, I understand, it’s simply Muslims behaving as Muslims are required to behave acording to directions in the Koran...
Oh.... NOW I understand..
Muslim sheetheads may behead, but we may not place women’s panties over their head, put insects in their cells, or pretend we’re going to drown them....
Finally, I would like someone to IDENTIFY the enemy we are fighting.....
It’s not Iraq.....
It’s not Afghanistan....
It’s not Islam......
It’s not Saudi Arabia...
It’s not Pakistan...
It’s not Syria...
It’s not Somalia...
Then WHO the Fxxx is it?
Meanwhile, back in the “civilized” world, we want to put the president, the VP, White House lawyers and CIA operatives in jail for making murdering Islamofascists sit in their skivvies, with a hood on their head and an “opened” Playboy magazine (The worst and most painful kind) on their lap. It’s “torture” don’t you know. We may be experiencing a period of reverse evolution. People are dumber than sh!t these days.
Good thing those guys haven't been caught by us, we might take a picture of them with PANTIES ON THEIR HEAD!
He was just getting the way of Obumas diplomacy....
And the “moderate” mooselimbs say nothing as usual?
Time to detach a few mooselimb heads yet?
Islamabad may get with it when their own heads begin to roll. Probably not before.
Yes, and has The Marxist—or any of his crowd—expressed an iota of outrage?
But by God, waterboarding, loud music and assuming difficult positions provokes their outrage every time.
Most of those people are in the Senate.
All of the above.
