Pakistani security forces have clashed with Taleban militants in the troubled north-west of the country, close to the Swat Valley.

A militant commander was among a number of militants killed in gun battles in the Lower Dir district of North West Frontier Province, the military said.

A member of the security forces was also killed when a convoy of troops passed through the area.

The area is west of Swat, where a peace deal was recently agreed.

The government agreed peace with the Taleban there in return for the enforcement of Islamic law.

Government spokesman Fartullah Barbar said the government was determined to root out militants but insisted that the Swat deal was still intact.

The new fighting occurred in the same area where on Saturday 12 children died after a bomb, which they mistook for a toy, went off.
