At least fifteen people were killed when Taliban militants attacked a check post, manned by pro-government tribesman and security forces in the town of Bara in the lawless Khyber tribal district, officials said on Sunday. Armed with assault rifles and hand grenades, the militants killed four ethnic Pashtun tribesmen and a paramilitary soldier in the late Saturday attack. Members of a tribal militia and security forces retaliated, killing 10 militants, senior government official Rehan Khattak said.
