<b>Hundreds of militants attack town in northwestern Pakistan, killing security official</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Hundreds of militants fired rockets, killed one security official and kidnapped a school principal Wednesday in a northwestern town where <b>police had slain two men accused of recruiting students for suicide attacks,</b> police said.
The pre-dawn raid underlined the strength of the militants and the weakness of Pakistani authorities in a swath of territory along the Afghan border where Taliban guerrillas fighting in Afghanistan find sanctuary. The United States fears al-Qaida is trying to regroup in the same area.
Several hundred gunmen launched the attack in Tank, a town in North West Frontier Province, sparking an hours-long battle that left at least one member of the paramilitary Frontier Constabulary dead, local police chief Omar Hayyat said
