A pickup truck carrying anti-Taliban militiamen hit a roadside bomb in northwest Pakistan near the Afghan border on Thursday, killing five people, said a government official.
Another vehicle was damaged and eight people were wounded in the incident, which occurred in the Chamarkand area of the Bajur tribal region, said Adalat Khan, a local government administrator. Three of the dead were men who had taken up arms against the Taliban and the bomb was likely targeting them, said Khan. (AP)
