ISLAMABAD—Government warplanes flattened a suspected Taliban hide-out in the northwest early Saturday, killing nine associates of Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud, intelligence officials said.

The military has targeted Mehsud and his militant network in recent months in the tribal regions along Pakistan's border with Afghanistan.
The Taliban leader is accused of orchestrating the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto in 2007 and launching a string of suicide attacks across the country in recent months that have killed more than 100 people.

"U.N. not to name culprits in Bhutto assassination The U.N. team conducting an inquiry into the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto will not seek to name culprits, the commission's head said Friday, lowering expectations from the outset.
"Translation: the UN knows the assassination was an inside job, precisely who ordered the hit and why, but doesn't want to "embarrass" the perps." -- Wake the Flock Up
Early Saturday, fighter jets destroyed hide-outs of Mehsud's deputy Hakim Ullah in the Orakzai region, part of Pakistan's lawless tribal belt. It was unclear whether Ullah was present at the time, said two intelligence officials who sought anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to media.
The Pakistani military's campaign against Mehsud comes as it pursues another operation against Taliban fighters in the Swat Valley and surrounding districts, also in the northwest. In a statement Saturday, the army said security forces had killed three suspected militants in the valley during the previous 24 hours. Also, one soldier died and three were wounded in the Bannu area, it said.
Meanwhile, the NEWSPAPERS are telling us here in AmeriKa the fighting is over and the refugees are headed back.
Hey, what's one more lie or omission, 'eh? Paper's full of 'em.
The continued violence indicates that danger persists in the region, even as the army has declared it largely cleared of militants and thousands of the approximately 2 million people displaced by fighting have started to return.
Yeah, except it is 3 MILLION and RISING!
However, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani dismissed suggestions that the government was sending the refugees back to the region too soon, before security was fully ensured and all Taliban eliminated. Saturday's airstrikes in Orakzai came a day after suspected U.S. missiles killed at least five suspected militants in the nearby tribal region of North Waziristan.....
