Pakistani Military Launches Operation In Khyber

From The Long War Journal:

The Pakistani military has launched an operation against extremists operating in the Khyber tribal agency. The operation was launched after a suicide bomber killed 22 border guards at the Torkham crossing last week.

More than 40 extremists were killed, including two commanders, and another 43 were captured, according to Tariq Hayat, the Political Agent for Khyber. Three "militant bases" were destroyed, according to a press release by the paramilitary Frontier Corps, while an indefinite curfew has been imposed in the region.

Update: Pakistan: Militants suffer heavy casualties as fighting rages -- CNN

My Comment: Another day of heavy fighting and casualties. Many killed and wounded. Stop. Repeat tomorrow.

This part of Pakistan ... a part in which most of the supplies that go into Afghanistan must pass through .... has had the same repeat performance by the Pakistani military every few months.

They start an operation. Kill many Taliban (so they say). Claim victory. Go back to base. A few months later .... repeat the story again.
