Khar, Pakistan - Taliban militants blew up a boys' school and the houses of six pro-government tribal elders in troubled northwest Pakistan near the Afghan border, a local official said on Wednesday.

The incidents took place late on Tuesday in the tribal region of Bajaur, where government troops have been engaged in fierce fighting with extremist rebels since launching an operation last August.

"A government-run boys' school and houses of six pro-government elders were blown up in different parts of Bajaur," local administration official Mohammad Jamil Khan told

....

There were no reports of casualties. None of the six tribal elders were at home during the attacks. They were all members of a lashkar or local force that was set up in the Mamoun area of Bajaur to counter the Taliban, Khan said.
Pakistan's northwestern tribal belt has become a stronghold for hundreds of extremists who fled Afghanistan after the US-led invasion toppled the hard-line Taliban regime in late 2001.

Pakistan has been accused by the United States and Afghanistan of not doing enough to stop militants crossing the border to attack US and NATO troops in Afghanistan.

Islamabad says the ongoing Bajaur offensive is proof of its commitment to crushing insurgents. - Sapa-AFP
