At least 24 people have been killed and dozens wounded in overnight
fighting between Sunni and Shiite Moslems in a remote tribal region
of Pakistan.
Almost 200 people have died in nearly two weeks of
clashes in the Kurram tribal region bordering Afghanistan. Local
media sources say Taliban militants from North Waziristan entered
Kurram to back the Sunnis. Residents say that Sunni tribesmen have
torched three Shiite villages. The government has warned the tribes
to end the fighting or face military action.
