Pakistan suicide car bomber kills 8 soldiers

Waziristan: A Pakistan suicide bomber rammed his vehicle near a military fort on Sunday, killing eight Pakistani paramilitary troops, an army spokesman said.

The bomber struck near the main gate of the Zalai Fort and the explosion occurred as Frontier Corps troops gathered nearby, said Major General Athar Abbas.

He said four people were wounded in the attack at the fort in South Waziristan, a tribal region considered a hub for Al Qaida fighters.
