ISLAMABAD - Pakistan’s army on Sunday raised the number of militants killed in a raid on a training camp a day earlier to more than 30, including Arabs, Uzbeks and local fighters who also took part in attacks inside Afghanistan.Pakistani security forces backed by helicopter gunships struck the militant facility before dawn Saturday in the North Waziristan town of Drub Lokai, a tribal region near the Afghan border. Twenty-two Arabs, three Uzbeks and seven local tribal militants linked with Al Qaeda and the Taleban were among those killed in the attack, a senior Pakistani security official said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the information. “It was a highly successful operation,” said top Pakistan army spokesman Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan.
| 30 terrs with no loss of your own? Yup, that's successful. Again, please. |
Among those killed was the purported militant commander, identified only as an Arab by the name of Abu Nasir, the official said. No further details were available on either the victims or their nationalities. The official said the number of Arabs killed was the largest in any one attack inside Pakistan.
