ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - The leader of Pakistani Taliban fighters in the Swat valley, northwest of Islamabad, has been wounded in fighting, a military spokesman said on Wednesday citing "credible" information.

The Taliban leader, Fazlullah, has been on the run since the military launched an offensive in the region in late April.
