Pakistani jets on Wednesday bombed Taliban hideouts in the north-west of the country, killing at least 60 militants, a security official said.
The bomb occurred as peace talks between the government and insurgents appeared close to collapse.
Military officials said hideouts of militants with links to the Pakistani Taliban were shelled in the North Waziristan tribal district, near the Afghan border, shortly after midnight on Tuesday.
``As per reports so far, 60 hard core terrorists, including some of the important commanders and foreigners, were also killed in the strikes, and around 30 were injured,’’ said a military official.
``Huge caches of arms and ammunition, including IED-making improvised explosive device explosive material, have also been destroyed in the strikes.’’
The official said that the identities of foreigners killed in the attack were not immediately known.
