Police: 8 killed in clashes in northwest Pakistan
AP - Monday, December 1
PESHAWAR, Pakistan - Six Pakistani security officers and two suspected militants were killed Sunday in new violence close to the Afghan border, police said.
Also Sunday, paramilitary troops patrolled the streets of Pakistan's largest city, Karachi, following fighting between ethnic and political gangs that left 16 people dead in the past two days, said Waseem Ahmed, the city police chief.
Pakistan is undergoing a surge in attacks by Islamist militants based in the wild, tribal regions in the northwest, from where they also stage attacks on Western troops in neighboring Afghanistan.
Militants in Bannu town attacked a security post, killing three officers, said police officer Mohammad Alam Shinwari. Two of the attackers also died, he said.
In nearby Lakki Marwat district, Taliban fighters fired rockets at a checkpoint, killing three police officers, Shinwari said.
