 A suspected militant blew himself up while planting a landmine on a dirt road in a remote northwestern tribal region near the Afghan border here on Thursday, said a security official. Asking not to be named because he was not authorised to speak to the media, the officials said the incident happened in Miranshah's outskirts and "we believe that this man was planting the land mine for soldiers deployed in the region." He gave no other details. The blast came two days after an army vehicle carrying troops hit a land mine in the same area and wounded four soldiers. |
