The security forces, backed by jet fighters, gunship helicopters and artillery, heavily pounded militants’ hideouts in Charmang, Chinar, Loisam, Sarlara and other areas of Bajaur agency on Afghan border, the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) said.
Bajaur tribal agency bordering Afghanistan has become one of the militants’ strongholds because the Taliban and Al-Qaeda militants kept sneaking into the Pakistani territory.
