Suicide attack kills five troops in Pakistan: police | Pakistan | DAWN.COM

PESHAWAR: A suicide car bomb attack killed five soldiers and wounded 12 others on Saturday in northwest Pakistan, police said.

The attack took place in Bannu city where the bomber drove his explosives-packed vehicle into the camp office of the paramilitary Frontier Corps troops, who are deployed in militant-infested North Waziristan.

“The bomber drove his explosives-packed vehicle into the FC building killing five personnel and injuring 12 others,” local police official Muhammad Shafiq told AFP.

He said the camp office was damaged in the attack.

Two local intelligence officials also confirmed the attack and casualties.

The camp is a base for Frontier Corps troops, also known as the Tochi Scouts, before and after deployments in North Waziristan which borders Afghanistan.

Washington has called Pakistan’s semi-autonomous northwest tribal region the global headquarters of al-Qaeda, where Taliban and other al-Qaeda-linked networks need to be defeated if the 10-year war in Afghanistan is ever to end.

I am indeed saddened by the loss of another 5 lives - i pray for their souls and families.
Jon yaar you have been long enough on here to know when someone shows crocodile emotions on here. It is sad to see the pretence of certain people on here pretending to show respect to the dead or trying to make cheap shots at the death of these people - then they cry when we state the obvious about their issues. Jon - ignoring like Areesh bhai is the best way bro
