Pakistan air strike kills six militants

04:28  Muhammad Shahbaz Khan  No comments

Pakistani fighter jets on Tuesday killed at least six militants and destroyed hideouts in a restive northwestern tribal district, local officials said.
The air strike took place in the Mamozai area of Orakzai, a known militant stronghold where rebels sought refuge from a military operation in the tribal district of South Waziristan.
"At least six militants were killed and 12 others were wounded in an air strike by the Pakistan air force," local government official Javed Khan told AFP.
"Four militant hideouts were destroyed in the bombing."
Last week, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urged Pakistan to take decisive steps to defeat al-Qaeda, becoming the most senior US official to visit since Osama bin Laden was found and killed in the country on May 2.
Khan said there were reports that a Pakistani Taliban commander Tariq, who uses one name and was leading militants in Darra Adam Khel tribal area between the cities of Peshawar and Kohat, could also be among the dead.
