2010-02-01 | |
[Dawn] A roadside bomb killed two Pakistani soldiers on Sunday and wounded two others in a northwest tribal region hit by a fresh wave of unrest, a paramilitary spokesman said.
"The remote-controlled bomb was buried in Safi town - two security men were martyred and two injured in this incident," Major Fazal-ur-Rehman, spokesman for the paramilitary Frontier Corps, said of Sunday's bombing. Residents in the area told AFP the soldiers were in a water tanker, which was also badly damaged when it struck the improvised explosive device. Bajaur and Mohmand sit at the northern tip of Pakistan's semi-autonomous tribal belt running along the Afghan border, and have seen increasing unrest in recent weeks as security forces try to dismantle Taliban sanctuaries. | |
