2012-03-02
At least ten Pakistani soldiers and 23 terrorists militants were killed early Friday in a gunfight in the Tirah valley of the lawless Khyber tribal district bordering Afghanistan.

A senior security official said, "At least 10 soldiers embraced martyrdom and three others were wounded. At least 23 militants were killed in the fighting which lasted for nearly six hours."

Khyber administrator Mutahir Zeb Khan said, "Militants from Lashkar-e-Islam group attacked our outpost and a gunfight erupted."
