Pakistan

Eleven Pakistani soldiers and 24 Taliban fighters were killed in heavy fighting after the Taliban assaulted five checkpoints in Mohmand. Pakistani security forces reportedly detained Nasiruddin Haqqani, the top financier for the Haqqani Network. The US transferred more than $600 million to Pakistan to fighter terrorists groups.
