Twenty-eight die in latest northwest Pakistan fighting
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Pakistani security forces pounded militant positions near strategic areas in a tribal region bordering Afghanistan, killing 25 suspected insurgents in a new round of a military offensive that also left three soldiers dead, the army said.
The battle in the Bajur tribal region came as the nuclear-armed US anti-terror ally struggles to recover from a massive suicide attack at the Marriott Hotel in the capital. Police said Saturday the death toll from the blast a week ago in Islamabad has risen to 54, one higher than previously reported.
