<b>'Fifteen die' in Pakistan battle</b>Â
Clashes between tribesmen and foreign militants near Pakistan's border with Afghanistan have left at least 15 people dead, security officials say.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->At end:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Pro-Taleban militants in the tribal areas have killed dozens of people, including government officials and tribal elders, in recent years.
More than 700 Pakistani troops have died fighting the militants since 2003 when the army moved into the lawless tribal border areas.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Well, Pak troops should complain to Mushroom and tell him not to let ISI keep stoking up the T-ban. Sometimes stoking a fire might burn your own hand, you know.
700 is a high number and adding the dead among tribesmen will make it far higher. Won't Teesta Seetalwaddle complain of a Pak 'genocide' at the hands of talibani militants?
