"11 killed in shooting near Afghan border"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "WANA, Pakistan: Pakistani forces opened fire on a minibus when it failed to stop at a roadblock in a tribal region where anti-terrorism operations have been ongoing, killing at least 11 people, two local officials and a resident told The Associated Press.

The shooting occurred early Saturday, the morning after armed men and soldiers exchange fire at a military compound in the region. Pakistani forces have been carrying out a sweep for terrorist suspects, and tension is high in the area.

The minibus failed to stop at a roadblock in Zeri Noor, a village just outside of Wana, the main town in tribal South Waziristan, two Wana officials told AP on condition of anonymity. The officials put the death toll at 11."

 ARTICLE SNIPPET: "LAHORE: Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed has said the persons detained in the Wana operation are being investigated only by Pakistani intelligence agencies and no foreign agency is involved in it.
