Bomb kills four Pakistani soldiers

A ROADSIDE bomb targeting a military convoy has killed four Pakistani soldiers and wounded four more near the Afghan border.

Sunday's blast was triggered by remote control in Mirali in North Waziristan tribal district, a notorious hub of Taliban- and al-Qaeda-linked militants.

"The roadside bomb planted near Khawaja Khar check post went off when a convoy left Mirali on its way to the north-western city of Bannu," a local security official said.

An army official in the north-western city of Peshawar confirmed the attack on the convoy of more than a dozen vehicles and the casualty toll.

"The bomb was planted under a culvert near the check post; it destroyed one military vehicle and killed four soldiers," he said, adding that another four were wounded.

No one immediately claimed responsibility.

Pakistan suffers from near daily bomb and shooting attacks, which officials blame on Taliban- and al-Qaeda-linked militants.

According to Islamabad, more than 35,000 people have been killed as a result of terrorism since al-Qaeda's September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States.
