Pakistan's military says troops killed 20 militants in an operation against the Taliban in the troubled northwest.
An army statement says paramilitary troops killed the militants Monday in the Lower Dir district, which is part of the Malakand division of North West Frontier Province.
Earlier Monday, a spokesman for radical cleric Sufi Mohammad, Ameer Izat, said he had suspended peace negotiations between the Taliban and government officials until the military operation in Lower Dir was halted.
