Roadside bomb targeting military vehicle kills 6 in North Waziristan
The vehicle was carrying three potential military recruitsPESHAWAR: At least six people were martyred in a roadside bomb attack targeting a military vehicle in the North Waziristan (NWA) tribal region on Tuesday. It was remotely detonated when the military vehicle drove past. Kamran Afridi, the political agent of North Waziristan, confirmed to The Express Tribune that all three on board the military vehicle were martyred. North Waziristan had been a stronghold of a potpourri of militants, including foreigners, until they were routed in a massive military operation, codenamed Zarb-e-Azb, in 2014. The Pakistani military said the attackers had been in contact with their handlers in Afghanistan throughout the rampage.
