Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN)— A deadly clash between government forces and Taliban militants erupted in Pakistan’s restive tribal belt Tuesday, marking continued unrest in the Orakzai district — an area government officials last year claimed they had largely pacified.

Pakistani Army Col. Asif Khan said 35 militants and two security force members were killed as a result of the fighting in the district, located west of the provincial capital of Peshawar.

Sixteen other security personnel were injured, he said.

A second Pakistani official estimated lower numbers of militants killed, putting the death toll at 20, while saying 21 service members had been injured.

  1. Allah says in the Holy Quran,” Alfitnatu ashaddu minal qatl, and Alfitnatu akbaru minal qatl.”
    (Troublemaking or triggering a conflict or disputes among the people is worse the a Murder)

    Enough is enough. we pray earnestly that firstly Allah gives them heed , if they are out of that category then send some “da’abbatula ArZ” the germ that only kills the terrorist of all kinds in the world. So that world can breath a sigh of relief.Amen and Amen again.

    I very much believe Allah is all capable.Insha’Allah
    Whoever needs peace in the world should too say Amen on this. Thank you
