Pakistan destroys militant training camps ISLAMABAD, Monday (AFP) Pakistani troops have destroyed militant training camps and seized a big quantity of weapons during an anti-terrorism operation in a remote tribal region near Afghanistan, the military said Sunday. The operation was launched early this month in an area of South Waziristan considered to be a stronghold of Abdullah Mahsud, a tribal militant and former Guantanamo Bay prisoner who masterminded the October kidnapping of two Chinese engineers. Mahsud became one of Pakistan's top targets after the kidnapping, which resulted in the killing of one of the engineers in a rescue operation. Troops seized a vehicle used by the militant but the man himself had escaped the hunt so far, the military said in a statement. |
