| PESHAWAR: Terrorists attacked troops deployed in Khyber Agency on Friday and the ensuing fighting left three soldiers and seven terrorists dead, security officials said. “At least three soldiers were killed and three others were injured after militants attacked them in Malik Dinkhel area of Khyber,” a senior security official said. Seven militants were also killed in the fighting, he added. Some 18,000 people fled their homes in Khyber in October last year amid fears of a fresh onslaught of fighting between the army and terrorists linked to the Pakistani Taliban. Seven tribal areas near the Afghan border are rife with insurgents and are strongholds of Taliban and al Qaeda operatives. |
