The Pakistani army says it has killed over 30 militants including
their local commander in North-Western Frontier province.
A
military spokesman said fighter jets and helicopter gunships had
targeted a militant hideout in the restive Swat valley late on
Friday. The assault reportedly continued through the night until
after dawn on Saturday. Violence has intensified in recent weeks in
three different parts of Pakistan's northwest. The United States
says al Qaeda and Taliban militants based in Pakistani tribal areas
on the Afghan border are responsible for attacks in Afghanistan and
Pakistan.
