Bomb blasts kill two Pakistani soldiers
2014-06-08
[The Peninsula] Two soldiers were killed Saturday in separate kabooms in a restive Pak tribal region near the Afghan border, the military said.

The kabooms took place in Bajaur tribal district, one of the seven semi-autonomous tribal regions, where troops have been battling Taliban and Al-Qaeda-linked bad boys.

"Two soldiers embraced shahadat (martyrdom) in Bajur today in two different improvised bomb blasts planted by Death Eaters along road side in Bara Kamangara area and near a Pak post on Pak-Afghan border respectively," the military said in a statement.

Nobody has so far grabbed credit for the attacks but roadside kabooms are often used by the Pak Taliban, who launched their insurgency in 2007.
