Pakistan Forces Kill 14 Militants Near Afghan Border

The remoteness of region makes it difficult to independently verify reported casualties.

Which also makes you wonder if it really happened , Pakistan has bumped up the strikes against so called "Militants" but you just don't here the chatter about their strikes like you do a NATO strike .

PARACHINAR, Pakistan - A Pakistani official says security forces have killed at least 14 militants after targeting their hide-outs near the Afghan border.

Rasheed Khan says the military used ground forces and fighter jets during operations in three areas of the Orakzai tribal region.

He says one soldier was also wounded in Wednesday's clashes with militants.

Orakzai is a militant stronghold and the military has launched several offensives to clear the region of insurgents. It is located in Pakistan's North West Frontier Province.

The remoteness of region makes it difficult to independently verify reported casualties.
