Airstrike on Madrasa
Pak troops seal off troubled town


Pakistani troops yesterday sealed off a troubled frontier zone amid a third day of tensions over a deadly air raid on an Islamic school that was visited by al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri.

The clampdown came despite calls by a human rights group for an independent investigation into claims that the 80 people who were killed in the attack in the troubled Bajaur region on Monday were all students and teachers.
