PESHAWAR, Feb 15: At least 15 militants were killed in an encounter with Pakistan security forces in Kurram tribal region from across the border in Afghanistan early today. Militants attacked a check-post in Kurram Agency which was befittingly retaliated by the security forces, official sources said.
One soldier was also injured in the attack. While 15 militants were killed, the remaining fled back to Afghanistan. Although Pakistan military, a couple of years ago, had declared the region militant-free, reports of sectarian attacks still emerge.
