4 linked with al-Qaeda killed in Pakistan
Four Al-Qaeda-linked foreign fighters were killed and two captured by Pakistani forces Monday as the army launched another attempt to dislodge militants from the country's remote tribal region, the military said.
Security forces raided a hideout near North Waziristan's capital town of Miranshah and "killed four foreign miscreants who were hiding there," military spokesman Major General Shaukat Sultan said.
"We had received confirmed information that a few miscreants were present in a hideout in an area in North Waziristan," Sultan told AFP.
