               15 Militants Reported Dead After Pakistani Strike

   Pakistani military authorities say 15 suspected militants are dead
   after fighter jets bombed militant hideouts in the North Waziristan
   tribal region.
   Wednesday`s attacks were focused on the town of Mir Ali, where militant
   activity is prevalent.
   One government official said a cache of weapons and ammunition was
   seized during the attack.
   Also this week, a Taliban faction claimed it had killed 23 kidnapped
   Pakistani soldiers.
   After that report, peace talks between representatives of the Taliban
   and Pakistani officials stalled. Government officials say a ceasefire
   must be in place before talks can resume.
