[Dawn] Two soldiers were killed and five others injured Sunday when a roadside kaboom exploded near a security forces' convoy in North Wazoo's Mir Ali area, DawnNews reported.

to Mirali. Subsequently, two soldiers were killed on the spot whereas five others were maimed.

North Waziristan is one of the seven regions in Pakistain's Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) governed by tribal laws. An bully boy insurgency led by the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) plagues the region and the area is known to be infested with bad turbans, including those from Al Qaeda and other armed bully boy organizations.

The region also comes under attacks from US drones frequently which target bad turban hideouts in the area.

#1  Sounds like they should be encouraging MORE drone attacks, not trying to stop them.
