A roadside bomb planted by the Taliban killed 14 people in northern Pakistan on Sunday, police officials said, when it blew up under a truck carrying villagers to a market near the border with Afghanistan.

 

A spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban said the attack, in the Jandool area of Lower Dir, was launched in revenge after villagers formed a pro-government militia. He said such attacks would continue. (Reuters)
