At least 10 militants killed in Orakzai raids
2011-09-25
[Dawn] Pak warplanes killed 10 Orcs and similar vermin and destroyed three hideouts in raids in the northwestern Orakzai Agency,
... crawling with holy men, home to Darra Adam Khel, the world's largest illegal arms bazaar. 14 distinct tribes of beturbanned primitives inhabit Orakzai agency's 1500 or so square kilometers...
local government officials said.

There is no independent verification of the attacks and casualties, and Orcs and similar vermin often dispute official accounts.

Orakzai is one of the most lawless areas in Pakistain's northwest tribal region, which is made up of seven districts near the Afghan border.

Pakistain launched a major operation in Orakzai in March last year after Orcs and similar vermin fled a sweeping offensive in the nearby tribal district of South Wazoo.

Late last year military officials said lower Orakzai had been cleared, but the thug threat persisted in some pockets of the upper part of the area.

Saturday's attack came as Pakistain is under renewed pressure from the United States to go after the Haqqani network, which it says operates from sanctuaries in Pakistain's North Waziristan tribal region on the Afghan border.
