Suicide blast in Pakistan kills two - Yahoo! News
KOHAT, Pakistan (Reuters) – At least two people were killed in a suspected suicide attack in northwestern Pakistan Friday, officials said.
The blast occurred at a police checkpoint in Orakzai agency, one of seven federally administered tribal areas, seen as a haven for al Qaeda and Taliban militants.
“The death toll may rise further,” an administration official said.
It is the second such attack in Orakzai in recent weeks.
In October, more than 50 people were killed in Orakzai in a suicide attack at a tribal council meeting, commonly known as “jirga,” called to draw strategy to evict militants linked to al Qaeda and the Taliban from the region.
