WANA, Pakistan (AFP) - Two Pakistani soldiers were killed and seven others wounded when a bomb planted by suspected militants exploded near the border with Afghanistan, officials said.
The early morning blast occurred outside the town of Wana in South Waziristan, military spokesman Major General Waheed Arshad said on Saturday. He said an improvised explosive device had been planted on the road between the city of Tank and Wana, where Pakistani forces are stationed to check Taliban and Al-Qaeda activities.
