PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Police say Pakistani security forces have raided a militant hideout in northwest Pakistan, sparking an hourslong shootout on Monday in which at least 10 insurgents were killed and several others were wounded. A police official says the insurgents were members of the outlawed Lashkar-e-Islam militant group. It is not immediately clear whether there were casualties among the security forces. Also on Monday, insurgents raided a police station in a northwestern district and kidnapped seven officers. No group has claimed responsibility.
