Any heavy casualties inflicted on militants in the Khyber region could ease concerns in Washington, which wants Pakistan to root out fighters along the border, seen as a global hub for militants, to help it defeat the Taliban in Afghanistan. Militants have been trying to choke off the supplies, forcing the United States and other countries with forces in landlocked Afghanistan to look for alternative routes. "We have secured one of their strongholds and recovered a large cache of arms and ammunition. In the fighting, 18 militants were killed while six were arrested," said Frontier Corps paramilitary force spokesman Major Fazal-ur-Rehman said. Political tensions in Pakistan could distract the government from its crackdown against militants behind recent bomb attacks that have killed hundreds of people. Pakistan's government published on Saturday a list of people, including four cabinet ministers, who could face prosecution over corruption after a controversial amnesty lapses this week. POLITICAL TENSIONS Embattled President Ali Asif Zardari, also on the list, cannot be prosecuted because of presidential immunity. However, the politically charged cases involving about 8,000 people, many from his party, could weaken him further and spark a new political crisis. Violence over recent months has dampened trade in Pakistani stocks, although dealers say investors are getting used to the bloodshed. The benchmark 100-share index ended 0.13 percent, or 11.74 points, higher at 9,233.70 on low turnover of 52.15 million shares on Tuesday as investors waited for a monetary policy announcement for the next two months due later in the day. The U.S. military sends a large proportion of its supplies for the Afghan war through or over its regional ally Pakistan, including fuel for its troops. Pakistani security forces went on the offensive in the Khyber region in September, forcing militants to forge a pact with the Pakistani Taliban in a bid to put up tough resistance. Western military supply lines have also been attacked along a route that leads to Afghanistan from Pakistan's Baluchistan province, where separatists have been waging a low-level insurgency for decades. Apart from the attacks on supply routes, militants have also been involved in a spate of deadly suicide bombings in Peshawar, capital of North West Frontier Province, security officials say.
