About 150 militants staged simultaneous attacks on the checkpoints in the Baizai area of the Mohmand ethnic Pashtun tribal region, officials said. "Eleven paramilitary troops were killed and about a dozen wounded when militants attacked several checkposts," the region's top government official, Amjad Ali Khan, told reporters. At least 24 militants were killed in clashes after the attacks and the death toll would likely rise following assaults on militant hideouts by helicopter gunships, he said. A militant spokesman confirmed the attacks but disputed the official death toll, saying only two of their fighters were killed and three wounded. Pakistani troops have scored major gains against pro-Taliban militants since last year, but insurgents have proved resilient and continued attacks on security forces and civilians. More than 2,000 people have been killed in militant bomb attacks across Pakistan since the army stormed a militant-run mosque in the capital, Islamabad, in 2007. Elsewhere, a roadside bomb hit a police patrol in the southwestern province of Baluchistan, killing a policeman and wounding seven, officials said. Separatist rebels, not linked to Islamist militants, have been waging a low-intensity insurgency in gas-rich Baluchistan for decades. In another incident, in the northwestern city of Peshawar, a blast outside a school wounded a teacher and three children, police said. The army says its offensives in the Swat valley, South Waziristan and other Pashtun regions in the northwest have weakened the Taliban, although analysts question the effectiveness of the assaults because militants tend to melt away and establish strongholds elsewhere. Pakistani action against militants on the border is seen as crucial to efforts to bring stability to Afghanistan. Pakistan has often been criticised for not doing enough. An intensifying insurgency in Afghanistan has brought more pressure on Pakistan to go after militants operating out of sanctuaries in remote enclaves on its side of the border Recommend Send IM Story Print Related Articles India begins quizzing former minister over telecoms row Reuters - Saturday, December 25 US pays Pakistan more than 600 mln dlrs for support AFP - Saturday, December 25 Delhi Games chief defiant after police raids AFP - Saturday, December 25 N.Korea may stage atom test 'to boost heir' AFP - Saturday, December 25 Laos' ex-PM 'lacked strong support' AFP - Saturday, December 25 News Search Top Stories London tops 6,000 in Santa rally S.Africa formally invited to join BRIC: .minister Naked Aphrodite on Cyprus passport causes stir Pope hails God's 'surprises' in Christmas message Hollywood stars Johansson, Reynolds divorce More Top Stories » ADVERTISEMENT Most Popular Most Viewed Most Recommended Antarctic IceCube observatory to hunt dark matter Bomb blasts hit Swiss, Chilean embassies in Rome Hollywood stars Johansson, Reynolds divorce Indonesia's dragons draw tourists to 'Jurassic' islands Revived Obama celebrates year-end wins More Most Viewed » Defiant Obama defends tax cuts, eyes 2012 More Most Recommended » Elsewhere on Yahoo!
