Pakistani troops killed at least 30 militants near the Afghan border, army spokesman Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas said. In one attack, Pakistani fighter jets bombed a militant camp and munitions storage facility, killing at least 20 insurgents, Abbas said.
Meanwhile, North West Frontier Province Chief Minister Amir Haider Khan Hoti said in a statement that he told U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher in Peshawar that he wanted "to resolve all political problems through peaceful dialogue."
The Bush administration has pressed the Pakistani government to do more to root out al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters based inside Pakistan.
