Bomb kills boy outside Pakistani madrassa
PESHAWAR, Pakistan - A 12-year-old boy died when a home-made bomb exploded outside a religious school in a turbulent Pakistani tribal area on the Afghan frontier, an official said Monday. The young tribesman died minutes after Sunday's blast in Lalazai, near Wana, the main town in South Waziristan region, the military official said. Pakistani forces are in the area hunting Al Qaeda-linked militants. It was not clear whether the young tribesman was carrying the device or he stepped on it near the Islamic seminary, known as a madrassa, he added.
