Nov. 30 (Bloomberg) — Pakistan’s forces have killed 600 fighters, at least 7 percent of the nation’s main Taliban force, in a six-week-old offensive in South Waziristan, military spokesman Athar Abbas said.

As troops expand their control in South Waziristan, a number of Taliban fighters have escaped via mountain footpaths to regroup in other districts near Peshawar, Pakistan’s northwestern provincial capital, the military said.
