Death toll from fierce clashes between local tribesmen and Uzbek militants in Pakistan's tribal areas bordering Afghanistan has risen to 132, the DAWN newspaper reported Friday quoting officials.

The clashed continued to the fourth day on Thursday, and 22 Uzbek militants were killed in the day's fighting near Wana, a town in South Waziristan, while there were no casualties among the local tribal men and militants, said the report, quoting South Waziristan administrator Hussainzada Khan.

The current spell of fighting between the local tribespeople and Uzbek militants in Pakistan's South Waziristan could date back to early March when a local tribal leader was attacked by foreign militants in a market.

The death toll of Uzbek militants in the fresh fighting starting from Monday soared to 101, while there were a total of 31deaths from local tribesmen and militants opposed to Uzbeks, according to the DAWN report.

There has been no independent confirmed figures of the clash casualties yet.

Efforts of different sides to broker a ceasefire reportedly have failed to yield results.

The Uzbek militants had chosen some places in Pakistani tribal areas as their abode after being chased across the border from Afghanistan by the U.S. forces in 2001, the report said.
