Pakistani air strike in S. Waziristan 2009.10.06
Dawn Media:
WANA: Pakistani fighter jets bombed Taliban hideouts in a northwest tribal
region on Tuesday, killing six insurgents and wounding three others,
security and intelligence officials said.
The attacks struck in South Waziristan, where the military has vowed to
launch an all-out offensive to purge the region of militants blamed for a
wave of deadly bomb attacks in Pakistan over the past two years.
'Makeen and Nawaz Kot areas of South Waziristan were bombed,' said an
intelligence official in the main provincial town Wana. 'We have reports
that six Taliban were killed and an unknown number of them were injured.'
A security official based in neighbouring Dera Ismail Khan district
confirmed the death toll and said three insurgents were also wounded.
