Pakistan air strike kills 30 militants
 AT least 30 militants have been killed in an air strike by the Pakistani military on their hideout in a restive tribal area bordering Afghanistan, the military says.The attack took place in South Waziristan district today where the military in October launched an air and ground offensive to flush out Taliban militants. The "hideout in Shawal mountains was targeted after a tip off received that terrorists were hiding there," the military said in a statement. The death toll could not be verified independently as the area is under military operations. Posted by: tipper 2010-02-20 |
