Mohmand
tribal region official Amjad Ali Khan says Tuesday that 120 militants have been
killed in the fighting, including seven local Taleban commanders. Four
Pakistani soldiers were killed.
The
offensive began Jan. 27 and has included aerial bombing, artillery and ground
assaults in five tribal regions. Khan says government forces will continue with
the operation until they have routed the insurgents.
Officials
have said about 22,000 people were displaced by the fighting. Khan says 20
families have been repatriated and they hope to bring others home next month.
