Military jets pound suspected militants'' hideouts in Waziristan

Text, KUNA reports,

Military jet fighters Thursday pounded suspected militants hideouts in South Waziristan tribal agency of Pakistan, along the Afghan border, which might have resulted in the killing and wounding of several militants but no exact figures were available. Military helicopters targeted three suspected militants hideouts in three different areas of Mahsud tribe Thursday afternoon, security officials told KUNA. They said the aerial operation believed to have killed and wounded several people but no figures were available. However, according to tribal sources, more than 10 tribesmen were killed. The military spokesman was not immediately available to comment on the report. The operation was carried out after the government blamed former Guantanamo Bay Taliban-linked militant Baitullah Mahsud, who belongs to Mahsud tribe, for the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, the former Prime Minister.

One can only hope this is not a attack against Baitullah Mahsud only, but the opening salvo of a larger operation in the FATA region.
