A bomb ripped through a military vehicle yesterday killing two Pakistani soldiers in a village in the restive northwestern tribal area bordering Afghanistan. The remote-controlled bomb planted on a roadside hit a patrol party leading a convoy of security forces at Boya village, some 20 kilometres west of Miranshah, the main town of troubled North Waziristan tribal district. “Two soldiers were martyred in the bomb blast,” a security official told AFP. “The authorities have clamped a curfew on the main Miranshah-Datta Khel road and are carrying out a search operation,” said the official, who requested anonymity.
