A suicide car bomber killed at least eight Pakistani paramilitary troops Sunday in a region near the Afghan border that has been a target in a surge of suspected US missile strikes.
The bomber rammed his vehicle into a checkpoint near the main gate of the Zalai Fort, exploding it as Frontier Corps troops gathered nearby, said Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas, the Pakistan army's top spokesman. Four people were wounded, he said.
The fort is 20 kilometers outside Wana, the main town in South Waziristan, a tribal region considered a hub for al-Qaida and Taliban fighters involved in attacks on US and NATO troops in Afghanistan.
