The casualties occurred on Thursday in the Bajaur region, where Pakistani troops launched a major offensive against Islamic militants in August.
‘Helicopter gunship pounded positions of militants in Badan area, killing 25 rebels including 8 foreigners,’ local administration told on telephone.
He did not disclose the nationality of the two foreigners. But a local resident said that two of them are Arabs. (Local people consider those militants are Arabs who speak Arabic or Chechen languages)
The Pakistani military says more than 1,000 militants have been killed since it launched its offensive in Bajaur in early August, including Al-Qaeda's operational commander in the region, Egyptian Abu Saeed Al-Masri.
More than 0.5 Million Persons have been displaced from Bajaur and now living in tents camps in various parts of the province Pakhtoon khwa.

Dear Sanjay
Killing of 25 Militants in Bajaur is the average, yester day more than 75 and today 21 militants were killed in different parts
of Bajaur.

Dear Hassan! Your story sounds quite good but the estimated figure of militants you have given does not match with the expected number. the nmber of killed ones is also termed as exaggerated. thanks

Dear Khalid Nisar.
Thanks for your comments and well come to Now Public Crowed Powered Media.
Numbers of Militants Killed on that day are correct and I have proof as you know that I have blood ties with Bajaur. Numbers of Militants present in Bajaur are estimated because no one knows the exact figure. If they are not 30000 I thank you will agree with me on 25000.

All this turmoil is the result of organized religion; I think when these people will be free from this menace (Organized Religion).
