2 Pakistani troops killed in roadside bombing
A Pakistani army convoy has been hit by a roadside bomb near the border with Afghanistan, killing two soldiers and wounding eight, Pakistani intelligence sources have said. The 20-truck convoy was headed for Shakai, in the tribal regions of northwestern Pakistan, from the border town of Wana when the remote-controlled bomb was detonated, intelligence sources told CNN. It was the latest in a series of attacks on Pakistani forces in the border region of Waziristan in the past week. On Monday, Pakistani security forces reported killing four suspected al Qaeda members and capturing two others in a raid in northern Waziristan. Pakistan's army reported intense fighting during the raid, with the clash lasting several hours. It said several suspected al Qaeda members escaped.Posted by: Dan Darling 2004-08-27 |
