Pakistan, Islamists in Deadly Clashes

by Philip Reeves, NPR
October 10, 2007

Pakistan's army has moved into the tribal region North Waziristan. It has been fighting Islamist militants. The clashes between troops and militants in the region near the Afghan border are the deadliest since Pakistan threw its support behind the U.S.-led war on terror in 2001. The offensive comes as President Pervez Musharraf tries to secure another term in office.
