At least 35 killed as Taliban attacks Pakistan checkpoint
  • Militants attacked an army checkpoint in Pakistan's restive north-west on Saturday, leaving at least 35 people dead including 13 members of the country's security forces.
The Pakistan Taliban claimed responsibility for the early morning raid on the army post in Serai Naurang town in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

They said the attack was in response to a US drone strike in neighbouring North Waziristan last month in which two commanders were killed.

The Pakistani military and pro-government militias have since 2009 regained territory from the Pakistan Taliban, who once controlled land a few hours' drive from the capital of Islamabad.

This seems to be almost normal for that benighted part of the world. Awful.

Well time to send in another drone strike on the Taliban.
