Car suicide bomb kills two soldiers in South Waziristan
PESHAWAR: A suicide bomber Friday drove a car filled with explosives into a military convoy, killing at least two soldiers in a restive northwestern Pakistani tribal area bordering Afghanistan, officials said.
The bomber crashed his white Toyota Corolla into a vehicle travelling in a military convoy in Wana, the main town in the South Wasiristan tribal district, a stronghold of Pakistani Taliban militants.
“At least two security forces personnel have embraced martyrdom and two others were wounded,” a senior security official told AFP.
Local intelligence officials confirmed the attack and casualties.
Pakistan is a frontline state in the US and Nato-led fight against militants in Afghanistan.
It says more than 40,000 people have been killed in Pakistan by Taliban and al Qaeda-led militants, who oppose Islamabad's US alliance.

Its bad.
How many have to die before Pakistanis will wake up. And Gen. Kiyani where is that war you can take to them? What are you waiting for?
We must use force as a last resort when dealing with the Taliban. Let's have peace talks.
