KHAR, Pakistan (AP) — Airstrikes pounded suspected insurgent hide-outs in a northwestern Pakistan tribal region bordering Afghanistan on Sunday, killing 13 alleged militants in the latest round of a bloody army offensive, officials said.

Meanwhile, a remote-controlled bomb planted on a motorcycle killed a passer-by and wounded five others in a market in the southwest Baluchistan province. An ethnic Baluch nationalist group claimed responsibility.

U.S.-allied Pakistan faces a high level of militant violence, especially in the northwest, where al-Qaida and Taliban-linked militants involved in fighting against American forces in Afghanistan have found sanctuaries.

The Pakistani army, using helicopter gunships, fighter jets and ground troops, has pursued an offensive against militants in Bajur, a tribal region considered a militant stronghold, since early August. The army says it has killed 1,500 insurgents in Bajur.
