Fifteen people, including eight Pakistani guards and seven Arab al-Qaeda prisoners and were killed in a gun-battle on Wednesday official sources disclosed.

The clash took place in the town of Sadda in Pakistan tribal Kurram Agency, 120 kilometers from Peshawar, when Taliban/Al-Qaeda prisoners, who were being moved from the town near the Afghan border, snatched weapons from their guards and opened fire.

The Pakistani paramilitary troops guarding the prisoners retaliated, however, they sustained eight fatal casualties, including one regular army soldier and six members of the paramilitary levis and one Khasadar. Seven of the prisoners were also killed. Officials fear the death toll could rise.
