Islamabad: At least one security personnel died and 12 others, including civilians, were hurt when a blast rocked a convoy in Pakistan's North Waziristan district on Sunday, media reports said.
The banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has claimed responsibility for the incident.
Local officials told Dawn News a convoy of security forces and employees of the Marri Petroleum Company was on its way from North Waziristan to Bannu when a rickshaw struck the forces’ vehicle in the Khajori area of the sub-division.
“This rickshaw was parked on the roadside in the middle of parked vehicles when it suddenly appeared and struck a vehicle of the security forces,” a local official told the newspaper.
The area was cordoned off after the incident.
