"The casualties were relatively high but a small cost for the lofty cause of elimination of terrorism from Pakistan society," military spokesman Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan told reporters.

He said troops had killed 63 militants, including an al Qaeda intelligence chief whom he identified only as "Mr. Abdullah." He would not provide further details such as the man's nationality, full name or how and when he was killed.

"He was killed in this operation," he told reporters.

U.S. forces are hunting on the other side of the border in a pincer operation. Militants linked to al Qaeda are widely believed to be behind bomb blasts in Madrid this month that killed 190.

Sultan said a wounded senior Uzbek al Qaeda leader, Tahir Yuldashev, was on the run. Yuldashev was the 10th most senior member of al Qaeda and was now hiding somewhere along the Afghan border, he added.
