ISLAMABAD - Seven suspected militants, including two women, were killed in an overnight explosion in Pakistan’s North Waziristan tribal region along the Afghan border, chief military spokesman Major General Shaukat Sultan said on Saturday.

“Those killed include one local tribesman while the rest of them are believed to be foreign militants, two of them women,” he told reporters in Islamabad.

The blast occurred at the residence of a local tribesman in the Mir Ali area of regional headquarters Miranshah who had allegedly provided sanctuary to the Al Qaeda linked militants.

“According to information received from the area’s political agent (chief administrator) they were busy making some explosive devices when the blast occurred,” Sultan said.

Local sources put the fatalities at eight, including four men and four women, and said anti-tank mines were recovered from the house.

Good news, of course, but accidents like this just eliminate the stupid ones. We need to actively step up the hunt for the smart ones.
