Pakistan: 12 Militants Killed at Taliban Base
---------------------------------------------



In Pakistan, government officials say at least twelve militants have
been killed in a military attack on a Taliban hideout in northwest
Pakistan. It’s believed to be the largest Pakistani military operation
since last week’s reported assassination of Pakistani Taliban commander
Baitullah Mehsud by a CIA drone.
