ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Sixty-four militants were killed Wednesday in fighting in northwest Pakistan, security forces said, hours before President Asif Ali Zardari was due to hold security talks with President Barack Obama in Washington.

The army said 37 militants were killed in two clashes in the Swat Valley, where a peace deal aimed at ending Taliban violence has collapsed. Two soldiers were also killed.

A paramilitary force said 27 militants were killed in the nearby Buner district.
