begins:
(AP) Fighter jets bombed Taliban hide-outs in Pakistan's troubled northwest
while troops pushed into militant territory on the ground, killing at least
40 insurgents in a 24-hour siege, the army said Saturday.

the Afghan border, local officials said. Claims that it was a missile strike

private army (lashkar) of around 30,000 people against the local Taliban. A
local jirga decided to form the lashkar in the wake of the increasing
presence of the local Taliban in the area. The lashkar torched 14 houses,
including the house of a local Taliban commander. Tribal elder Malik Munsib
Khan, who heads the lashkar, said tribesmen would continue their struggle
until the Taliban were expelled from the area, adding that anyone found
sheltering Taliban militants would be fined Rs one million and his house
would be torched. The tribesmen also torched two important centres of the
Taliban in the area and gained control of most of the tehsil. The action
