Attacks by unmanned US spy planes and suicide bombings blamed on the Taliban have soared in the past year, with Washington determined to wipe out militant sanctuaries and the extremists vowing fierce retaliation. A drone fired two missiles into a mud-brick fort in Sanzali village, about 30 kilometres (19 miles) west of Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan, in the fourth suspected US missile attack in the tribal district in a week. Just over an hour later, a drone slammed another missile into a group of militants sifting through the wreckage, searching for survivors and picking out the dead bodies, Pakistani security officials said. "Five militants were killed in the previous attack and six in this attack," a senior security official in the northwestern city of Peshawar told AFP. The area is a stronghold of Hafiz Gul Bahadur, who fought with the Taliban when US-led troops invaded Afghanistan and is reputed to control up to 2,000 fighters whom he sends across the border but who do not attack in Pakistan. Washington has put Pakistan at the heart of a new strategy for turning around the eight-year war against the Taliban in Afghanistan, hinging success on dismantling militant sanctuaries along the porous border. The strikes came hours after a suicide bomber killed four soldiers outside army barracks in Tarar Khal, southeast of Muzaffarabad and near the demarcation line with India in Pakistani-administered Kashmir. The bombing came a day after President Asif Ali Zardari visited the area -- a fault line that has sparked two wars with India and distracted Pakistani attention from the expanding Taliban menace along the Afghan border. "It was a suicide attack. The target was the army barracks. We have collected evidence and body parts," police official Irfan Masaood Kishvi said. Sardar Khurshid, another senior police officer in the area, said four soldiers were killed and 11 wounded in the blast. Kashmir was split into two in the bloody aftermath of independence from British rule over the subcontinent in 1947. Nuclear rivals India and Pakistan each control a part of the mountainous land but both claim the region in full. Wednesday's attack was the fourth suicide bombing in Pakistani Kashmir since June. On December 27, a bomber killed seven people outside a mosque in Muzaffarabad and analysts warn that the Taliban are extending their reach. Militants have killed more than 2,890 people across Pakistan since July 2007, until recently concentrating attacks in the northwest. The elected leader of Pakistani Kashmir, Raja Farooq Haider, condemned the attack in Tarar Khal and blamed Taliban-linked extremists. "A foreign hand is involved in all these incidents. These people are not coming across the line of control but from our western borders," he said. Islamists say their campaign, which has become deadlier over the last year, is to avenge military offensives and Pakistan's unpopular alliance with the United States in the war against the Taliban in neighbouring Afghanistan. Critical of US pressure to do more to eliminate Taliban and Al-Qaeda-linked militants along its border with Afghanistan, the Pakistani military still eyes India as the primary threat to the country. Suspected Islamist militants opened fire in the main market area of Indian Kashmir's summer capital Srinagar, killing a police officer. There were no early indications that the attack was linked to the suicide bombing. India accuses Pakistan of arming and funding militants waging the insurgency in Kashmir, although Islamabad denies all charges.
