'Taliban die' in Pakistan clashes

At least 23 militants have been killed in fighting between pro-government tribesmen and Taliban insurgents in north-west Pakistan, officials say.

The clashes took place in Ambar village in the lawless Mohmand tribal region, bordering Afghanistan's Kunar province.

Mohmand in North-West Frontier Province is said to be a hub for Taliban.

In the neighbouring Khyber tribal area, militants attacked a tanker carrying fuel for Nato forces in Afghanistan. Two people died in the attack.
