Troops kill foreign militant in clash near Afghan border
ISLAMABAD: Forces today shot dead a fleeing foreign militant and wounded four people after the suspect opened fire on a check post in a remote tribal town near the Afghan border, officials said. Unidentified attackers also fired rockets on a military camp but there were no casualties, they said. The shooting occurred at a paramilitary checkpost at Jandola in the rugged South Waziristan region when the troops challenged a Hilux van trying to exit the area, military spokesman Major General Shaukat Sultan told AFP.
