PESHAWAR, Pakistan Officials say a large group of militants attacked an army camp in northwestern Pakistan before dawn with automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades, killing at least one soldier.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because an official army press release has not yet been issued.

Senior police officer Arif Khan Wazir says the battle started around 3:45 a.m. local time. He says at least 40 militants attacked the camp. He says two soldiers were killed and 11 others were wounded. He says four militants were also killed.

Civil war in progress there as the Americans continue to weaken the current PAK gov't with unpopular and illegal air strikes using cowardly drones.

Well said, Corbolavirus. Those creepy cowards who operate those killer drones need to be indicted and brought to justice! Unfortunately, that will never happen since the U.S. has paid off the I.C.C. so none of our war criminals will ever face justice!
