PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AFP) – A Taliban commander and at least 15 others died in a suspected US missile strike on a militant training camp in Pakistan's tribal belt bordering Afghanistan, officials said on Monday.

BAGHDAD, Oct. 26 -- Four U.S. helicopters flew into Syrian airspace Sunday afternoon and opened fire, killing eight people near the border with Iraq, the Syrian government said.
A US counterterrorism official says US special operations forces killed the head of a Syrian network that funneled foreign fighters, weapons and cash into Iraq.
The raid Sunday targeted the Syrian border home of Abu Ghadiyah, the head of the single most important foreign fighter cell that has bedeviled Iraq since the US invasion in 2003, according to the official. The US government is refusing official comment. (AP)
