Bomb kills two soldiers in Mohmand Agency

A roadside bomb killed two Pakistani soldiers on Sunday and wounded two others in a northwest tribal region hit by a fresh wave of unrest, a paramilitary spokesman said.
The device exploded in Safi town in Mohmand Agency, which borders Bajaur Agency, where a suicide bomber blew himself up at a military checkpoint on Saturday, killing 16 people, including two soldiers.
The remote-controlled bomb was buried in Safi town - two security men were martyred and two injured in this incident, Major Fazal-ur-Rehman, spokesman for the paramilitary Frontier Corps, said of Sunday's bombing.
Residents in the area told AFP the soldiers were in a water tanker, which was also badly damaged when it struck the improvised explosive device.
Bajaur and Mohmand sit at the northern tip of Pakistan's semi-autonomous tribal belt running along the Afghan border, and have seen increasing unrest in recent weeks as security forces try to dismantle Taliban sanctuaries.
