Two killed in roadside bomb in Khyber Agency

PESHAWAR: A roadside bomb killed two paramilitary soldiers on a routine patrol in an area of northwestern Pakistan near the Afghan border, said Riaz Khan, a local administrator in the Khyber tribal area on Tuesday.

The bomb struck the soldiers' vehicle as it traveled along a road in the Sheen Qamar area of Khyber, said Khan.

There was no claim of responsibility for the attack, but the Pakistani Taliban have carried out similar bombings in the area in the past. – AP
