PESHAWAR:
Six militants were killed and four others were injured when jets bombarded militant hideouts in Garium, North Waziristan Agency, sources said.
Garium which is located some 18 km towards east of Razmak, the main town in North Waziristan Agency is considered to be an area influenced by militancy. According to sources the bombardment took place some two hours after mid day in which at least six militants were killed and four others were reportedly injured.
There were reports of foreign militants in the area, however, this could not be officially confirmed. Security forces have previously been attacked in this particular area.
The strikes come at a time when there are talks of negotiations between the government and the Taliban. North Waziristan is considered to be one of the most dangerous areas throughout the Federally Administered Tribal Area. With limited access to the area the casualties could not be independently verified.
The Pakistani security forces in the area are already involved in an active military surge in Central Kurram and Orakzai Agencies.
