The air strikes in the North
Wazoo tribal region on Tuesday followed two major Taliban attacks on military targets in as many days."Most of (the) forces of Evil killed are imported muscle including 33 Uzbeks and three Germans," the source told Agence La Belle France Presse.
Uzbeks, many affiliated with the al-Qaeda-linked Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, make up one of the largest groups of imported muscle in Pakistain's tribal northwest.
There was no immediate confirmation from the countries concerned. Independent verification of casualties was not possible because media and aid workers are not allowed to visit the area.
The source added that Wali Muhammad, a Pak Taliban capo and trainer of jacket wallahs, was among the dead. This was confirmed by a senior bully boy source.
Tuesday's operation was one of the heaviest bombardments in recent years in North Waziristan, a key stronghold of gunnies linked to the Taliban and al-Qaeda.
Officials said some of those killed were linked to an attack on Sunday on paramilitary troops in the northwestern city of Bannu that killed 26, and a double suicide kaboom on a church in September that killed more than 80.
Another military official said a few families had fled the fighting and moved out of the tribal areas, but so far there has been no mass migration from the area.
The government officials said that around 500 families fled to Bannu district from North Waziristan after the bombardment.
"Some 500 families from Mir Ali sub-division of North Waziristan have migrated to Bannu. They are living with the local host tribes of Mamashkhel and Bakakhel in Bannu," said Arshad Khan, head of the Fata Disaster Management Authority (FDMA).
