ISLAMABAD: A suicide bomber attacked a military convoy in a Pakistani tribal region along the Afghan border, killing four soldiers, the army said yesterday.
The incident took place in Mir Ali, North Waziristan district, according to an army statement.
Police and intelligence officials said the bomber rammed a three-wheeler into the convoy late on Monday in the remote district, which has seen a rise in militant violence in recent weeks.
No one has claimed responsibility for the bombing, which came a day after a senior Pakistani militant with a $3 million US bounty on his head, Abdul Wali, also known as Omar Khalid Khurasani, was killed in an explosion in Afghanistan.
