Pakistani Army Kills 7 Insurgents Near Afghan Border
The Pakistani military says it has destroyed a suspected insurgent hideout in a tribal region near the Afghan border, killing seven militants. Local security officials say the attack late Wednesday in the restive North Waziristan region was aimed at a senior al-Qaida explosives expert, Egyptian-born Muhsin Musa Matwali Atwah. A government spokesman would not confirm reports that Atwah was killed in the raid, but said foreign militants were among the dead. Atwah is wanted in connection with the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in East Africa. Washington has offered a five million dollar reward for his capture.
The attack was the latest in a series of raids by government troops over the past few months, during which more than 250 suspected militants have been killed.
