Pakistani troops have killed seven militants in clashes near the
Afghan border.
Military officials said troops launched a mortar
attack on suspected militant hideouts in a remote tribal district
overnight after their posts came under attack. Officials say more
than 500 people, mostly rebels, have been killed in a major
military offensive in the semi- autonomous tribal area over the
past two weeks. Meanwhile in northern Afghanistan, provincial
officials say US-led coalition troops have clashed with a group of
Taliban fighters, killing six militants. Four other militants died
in a clash in the south.
