About 200 militants with rockets and automatic weapons attacked a military checkpost in Pakistan yesterday, killing one soldier and wounding four, a military official said.
Up to 30 militants were killed in clashes that followed in the Mohmand ethnic Pashtun tribal region in the northwest, two days after the Army announced it had made major progress by clearing Taleban and al Qaeda fighters from one of their nerve centres in a neighbouring region.
