PESHAWAR: Fierce fighting erupted between troops and militants in northwest Pakistan Wednesday, leaving 33 rebels, two soldiers and two civilians dead, officials said. Pakistani gunship helicopters and artillery pounded rebel positions for a second day in the Swat Valley, a former tourist spot . Seventeen of the militants died when their vehicle was hit by fire by security forces, while the other sixteen died in separate incidents, chief military spokesman Major General Waheed Arshad was quoted as saying. "Helicopters were used in the operation. They shelled known militant positions on hill tops," Arshad said. "In one incident a vehicle carrying 17 militants was targeted, the vehicle fell from a hilltop and all were killed. They were militants, there is no doubt, they had arms," he added.
