Waziristan, Feb 29: Pakistani soldiers have killed 11 people in a shooting incident in the tribal region of South Waziristan near the Afghan border. The army says they were firing back at militants who attacked an army camp.

But tribesmen said troops opened fire on two vehicles that failed to stop at a road block; local people and Afghans were among the dead.

The Pakistani army this week launched a fresh offensive against al-Qaeda and Taleban suspects in the area.
