| At least 12 people have been killed and 30 injured in a bomb explosion in Pakistan's troubled tribal area bordering Afghanistan, officials say. The blast ripped through a hotel and shops in a market in Jandola town in South Waziristan. There were two explosions in Jandola town on Thursday. The first one was the hotel bomb that left 12 dead, officials say. It is not clear who planted the device. The hotel is next to the headquarters of the local paramilitary force. Ninety minutes later there was a second explosion in the same market area of the town. Officials say this blast was caused by fire in an arms and ammunition shop, local officials say. Four paramilitary soldiers and a journalist have gone missing in South Waziristan in recent days. The bodies of two of the soldiers have now been found. One report said they had been beheaded, another that their throats had been cut. |
