Re: Up to 40 militants killed in Waziristan
Here are reports from earlier this year mentioning them.
Hundreds of foreign fighters, including** Uzbeks, Chechens and Arabs**, fled to the semi-autonomous tribal lands on the Pakistani side of the border after US-led forces overthrew the Taliban government in Afghanistan in 2001.

Security forces have arrested 14 suspected al Qaeda-linked militants, including Uzbeks and Tajiks, trying to sneak into southwestern Baluchistan province from the South Waziristan tribal region, intelligence officials said.
