ISLAMABAD - Pakistani security forces killed three suspected Islamist militants in a clash in the North Waziristan region on the Afghan border on Saturday, the military said.
The clash took place near a border checkpoint when militants in three vehicles tried to enter Pakistan from Afghanistan, military spokesman Major-General Waheed Arshad said in a statement. ‘The vehicles were signalled to stop at the checkpost but they did not stop and started firing on security forces personnel,’ he said.
Next time you start shooting before they do, it's safer that way ... | One soldier was killed. Several militants managed to escape and security forces were searching for them Saudi-style, Arshad said. |
