2013-06-10
[Pak Daily Times] Three soldiers were killed and four maimed in kabooms on military convoys in North Wazoo on Sunday, officials said.

"A military convoy comprising 35 vehicles was on its way to the northwestern town of Bannu from Razmak when an improvised bomb planted along the roadside went off, killing three soldiers," a local intelligence official said. The official, who requested anonymity, said two soldiers were maimed in the kaboom 70 kilometres south of Miranshah

a curfew was imposed in North Waziristan and Bannu-Miranshah Road for an indefinite time period following the attacks. North Waziristan is one of seven semi-autonomous tribal regions and has been the scene of frequent drone strikes by the United States. The deputy commander of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain, Waliur Rehman, was killed along with at least five others in a drone strike on a house in North Waziristan on May 29. Pak troops have been fighting for years against homegrown snuffies in the northwestern tribal belt, but the United States has accused them of not doing enough to crack down on Taliban and other bully boyz who cross the border to fight in Afghanistan.
