Bomb kills three soldiers in Khyber
2010-10-21
[Dawn] Three Pak soldiers were killed Wednesday when a bomb destroyed their patrol in the Khyber region of the tribal belt on the Afghan border, a military front man said.

The soldiers from the paramilitary Frontier Corps (FC) were on a routine patrol when the bomb planted by bully boyz hit a vehicle, the front man said.

The incident happened in Qambar Khel town, which lies on the route of Nato supply convoys heading to the US-led war effort in Afghanistan.

"Three FC soldiers were killed and three maimed," the front man said, blaming "myrmidons" for the attack in a term used by Pak military commanders to denote bad turbans.

Khyber is home to Taliban beturbanned goons and bully boyz from thug group Lashkar-e-Islam led by local warlord Mangal Bagh.
