KOHAT, Pakistan (Reuters) - A suicide bomber killed
himself and nine Pakistani military recruits in an
attack in the northwestern town of Kohat on Monday, a
military spokesman said.
The bombing, the first major attack since Pakistan's
state of emergency was lifted two days ago, was near
an army-run school where Islamist militants have made
repeated attacks on security forces in recent months.
"The bomber was on foot and blew himself up as he got
close to the soldiers who were returning from a
football ground," said military spokesman, Major
General Arshad Waheed.
Four soldiers were wounded, he said.
More than 400 people have been killed in suicide bomb
attacks in Pakistan in recent months, most in the
North West Frontier Province.
President Pervez Musharraf cited rising militant
violence, as well as a meddling judiciary, when he
imposed a state of emergency on November 3.
Musharraf lifted emergency rule and restored the
constitution on Saturday. Hours later, he said the
government had "broken the back" of the militancy.
Many militants took refuge in remote northwestern area
on the Afghan border after U.S.-backed troops ousted
the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001. They have been
conducting raids into Afghanistan and Pakistan from
their mountain strongholds.
