The soldiers died in a rocket attack on an army post in the North Waziristan tribal area. Troops returned fire, killing 14 militants, the army said. On Saturday at least eight troops died when an army checkpoint was attacked at around midnight, about 24km (15 miles) east of Miran Shah. Reports say the attackers were armed with assault rifles and rockets. Several soldiers are still missing. The army responded with helicopter gunships, attacking what it said were the hideouts of suspected militants. It said at least three people were killed. In a separate incident, people in the village of Saidgai, 12km (eight miles) north of Miran Shah, said military helicopters opened fire on a house early on Saturday leaving eight people dead and a number of others injured. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/4597630.stm Dasha: Ve/Mo/Sa/Ju/Sa satva Jorge Angelino Rua da Sociedade Filarmónica Perpétua Azeitonense, 29 2925-598 Azeitão Portugal jorge.angelino tel: mobile: 210813674 963916784 Add me to your address book...
