Pakistani security forces have killed 25 militants as a roadside bomb exploded next to a tanker carrying fuel for North Atlantic Treaty Organization troops in Afghanistan, leaving one dead in Pakistan's tribal region, officials said. Meanwhile, two people were killed in the Dera Ismail Khan district in North West Frontier Province (NWFP) as the sectarian tensions continued to rise a day after a suicide bomber killed 35 people at a funeral. Helicopter gunships and artillery targeted several militant locations overnight in Bajaur tribal district, DPA reported. The action that started late Friday continued on Saturday morning. "Our forces have destroyed some important hideouts of militants and killed some 25 insurgents, including a commander Faizullah," said a security official from paramilitary troops Bajaur Scouts.
