Suicide attack on military convoy kills 4 soldiers, 5 civilians in Pakistan
4 hours ago
PESHAWAR, Pakistan - A suicide bombing attack on a military convoy killed five civilians and four soldiers Sunday in troubled northwestern Pakistan, the army and police said.
The attack also wounded 13 more civilians and 10 other soldiers in the town of Mangora in Swat district, where security forces have carried out several operations against followers of a pro-Taliban cleric, an army statement said.
The dead and injured have been taken to a hospital, said local police official Mohammed Khan. No further details were given.
Swat has been the scene of several such attacks since July, when Pakistan’s government sent troops there to contain the activities of Maulana Fazalullah, a local cleric who had waged a violent campaign to pressure government for the enforcement of Taliban-style Islamic laws in his area.
Although the government says it has killed or captured most of Fazalullah’s supporters, the cleric has remained on the run.
