'Raid on al Qaeda meet kills 40'

Uzbeks, Chechens and Arabs said to be at 'training facility'

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- The Pakistani air force has bombed a suspected meeting of al Qaeda operatives in the country's tribal region along the border with Afghanistan, government officials said.

According to local officials, the 6 a.m. attack in the South Waziristan city of Khonkhila Thursday killed 40 people, including Pakistanis and "foreigners."

"There were confirmed reports of training activity being conducted by foreign elements including Uzbeks, Chechens and a few Arabs," the military said in a statement quoted by The Associated Press.

"These trained terrorists were indulging in sabotage and terrorist acts in the country."

Army spokesman Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan told AP said the men had been involved in terrorist acts inside Pakistan, but gave no details.

He said they were not in any way connected to suspected Chechen and Arab militants who took hundreds hostage at a school in southern Russia earlier this month. At least 330 people -- many of them children -- died in the end to that siege.
