Twenty militants, Pakistani soldier killed in clashes
Pakistani troops and helicopter gunships killed up to 20 militants near the Afghan border, officials said, hours after President Pervez Musharraf warned foreign rebels to leave the area or die.
The fighting erupted overnight after rebels killed a soldier at a security post in Datakhel village, near Miranshah, the main town in the restive North Waziristan tribal zone and the scene of fierce clashes earlier this month.
"Up to 20 militants were killed when security forces responded to the rocket and small arms attack on the checkpost, in which one solider was killed," top military spokesman Major General Shaukat Sultan told AFP.
"The militants while running away left behind a few weapons also."

I'm wondering how long Pakistan President
Musharraf will be able to hold on to power in Pakistan. I would hate to see and Islamist government take control of a nuclear nation.
once hes gone we will probably have to start thinking about how long before we take them out.
we should use the hiroshima/nagasaki paradigm..save Ameican lives b nuking the enemy, why get involved in extended conventional campaigns?
