Wana blast kills soldier, 11 injured
2005-10-25
WANA: A Pakistani soldier was killed and 11 were wounded on Monday when a bomb blast hit their truck in a tribal area near the Afghan border, an official said. The afternoon attack took place near Laddah fort, 40 kilometres northeast of South Waziristan’s main town of Wana. “One paramilitary soldier was killed and 11 were injured, nine of them seriously, when a remote-controlled bomb exploded near their moving truck,” the official said. Military last year killed hundreds of Al-Qaeda-linked militants in the region. This month paramilitary troops killed six suspected militants and arrested two in the same area.

Meanwhile, officials arrested an Afghan refugee on suspicion of planning to attack Muslim seminaries, in Miranshah, a tribal administration official said. “The military intelligence had intercepted his telephonic conversations from where they learned about his plans to bomb two local madrassas,” he said.
