1,000 militants killed.

[Bootneck]

The Pak Army is claiming to have killed 1,000 militants in the North West Frontier region in a two week offensive. Let's hope they continue to push hard against the Taliban and militant insurgents by continuing the offensive into Waziristan and the Afghan border regions. That could herald the beginning of the end for these bastards.

A military offensive to rid Pakistan's northwest of al Qaeda and Taliban fighters has killed more than 1,000 militants since it began in full force earlier this month, the country's interior ministry said Sunday.

Officials also said that only 2 percent of the North West Frontier Province remains under Taliban control as a result of the operation.

Both claims were difficult to verify independently.

The government did not say whether the operation resulted in civilian casualties, or how many people it displaced.

The United Nations said Saturday that more than a million people have been displaced as a result of the two-week-old offensive.
