Bomb kills two soldiers in Miranshah

A bomb ripped through a military vehicle on Saturday killing two soldiers in Miranshah, a security official said. The remote-controlled bomb planted on a roadside hit a patrol party leading a convoy of security forces at Boya village, some 20 kilometres west of Miranshah. "Two soldiers were martyred in the bomb blast," a security official told AFP.
"The authorities have clamped a curfew on the main Miranshah-Datta Khel road and are carrying out a search operation," said the official, who requested anonymity. A local intelligence official confirmed the attack and death toll and said that he suspected the involvement of Taliban militants. In a separate attack, a crude bomb killed two tribesmen and wounded four others outside the house of a tribal elder in the town of Landi Kotal in Khyber tribal district, local government official Mutahir Zeb told AFP.
