3 US Soldiers Among Dead in Pakistan Bombing

HeadlineFeb 03, 2010

In Pakistan, a roadside bombing earlier today has killed an estimated ten people, including three US soldiers. The attack occurred in Lower Dir, where Pakistani troops have recently battled Taliban militants. The killings forced the Pentagon to make a rare admission of US troops operating inside Pakistan. The US military says the soldiers were en route to inspect a site for a development project. More than fifty people were injured in the attack, many of them children at a nearby school.
