Blast Kills Pakistani Soldiers

by VOA News

Pakistan officials say a roadside bomb blast in a tribal region near the Afghan border has killed 14 Pakistani soldiers and wounded at least 21 others.

Authorities say the explosion Sunday hit a military convoy in North Waziristan, the main sanctuary for al-Qaida and Taliban militants in Pakistan.

There has been no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack near Dosalli village.
