MIRAN SHAH, Pakistan - Hundreds of students chanting, "Death to America!" protested Pakistan's support for the U.S.-led fight against terrorism, as the government said Tuesday that security forces would show "no leniency" in the conflict with Islamic militants.
In the latest violence, a missile strike near the Afghan border destroyed a suspected militant hideout and killed 12 people inside, intelligence and government officials said.
Pakistan is facing a surge in religious extremism that has seen pro-Taliban fighters gain sway in the northwest and launch a wave of suicide bombings in cities and assaults on troops struggling to maintain a grip on the borderlands.
About 370 people have died this month in militant-related violence nationwide, according to an Associated Press tally based on figures from the military and other officials.
