Talib Toe Tally

HANGU: At least nine Taliban were killed and another 13 injured when security forces attacked Taliban hideouts in Upper Orakzai Agency on Saturday, official sources said.
Political administration sources told Daily Times that security forces targeted Taliban hideouts in Dabori, headquarters of Upper Orakzai, using helicopter gunships.
Locals said all the dead were local Taliban and that no key Taliban commander was killed in the attack.
| They were having a safe meeting in a Smart car ... |
| That would be harder to escape from than a den. |
Local Taliban, however, denied that any of their men were killed in the attack on their hideouts in the agency.
Helicopter operations are being carried out as part of a larger ground and air assault against Taliban hideouts in Malakand division.
