<b>Pakistani forces kill 90 freedom fighters</b> ISLAMABAD, Jan 18 (Reuters) - Pakistani forces killed up to 90 militants in two battles on Friday in South Waziristan tribal area along the Afghan border, the military said. The clashes came two days after hundreds of militants overran a paramilitary fort in another part of South Waziristan. In one operation on Friday, government forces attacked a large number of militants who had gathered to attack another attack fort in the region, at Ladha, killing up to 60 of them, said military spokesman Major-General Athar Abbas. Security forces used artillery and mortars and there were no casualties on the government side, he said. In the second incident, militants ambushed a military convoy but suffered upto 30 casualties when security forces fought back, Abbas said. “We had a convoy passing through Chaghmalai. Miscreants started firing on the convoy. The security forces retaliated and there was a firefight for an hour or two and then the security forces cleared the area,” he said. Four members of the security forces were wounded in the second clash, he said.(Posted @ 18:53 PST, Updated @ 19:38 PST))<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Two Pakistani militants escape from jail QUETTA, Pakistan, Jan 18 (Reuters) - Two Pakistani militants, one of them on death row for killing dozens of minority Shi'ite Muslims, escaped Thursday night from a high-security prison in Quetta, the capital of Balochistan province, police said Friday. The two, Usman Saifullah and Shafiq-ur-Rehman, were members of the feared Lashkar-e-Jhangvi militant group. “They fled some time in the night. The lock of their cell was found broken early in the morning,” said a police official who declined to be identified. “A manhunt has been launched and police and paramilitary troops are raiding their suspected hideouts.” Among the attacks Saifullah was involved in was a raid on a Shi'ite mosque in Quetta in 2003 in which 53 people were killed. He was arrested in Karachi in June 2006. Rehman, arrested in early 2007, was accused of involvement in similar offences. (Posted @ 16:55 PST)<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
