Dozens Killed in Cross-Border Militant Attack in Pakistan 
----------------------------------------------------------



Dozens have been killed in Pakistan after some 200 Afghan militants
crossed the border and attacked a military checkpoint. At least 27
troops and 35 militants died in the day-long battle. The violence came
just one day after a top Pakistani general announced plans to stage a
sweeping military operation against insurgents in the region.
