Bomb near hideout kills 2 militants

Pakistani security officials say a bomb at a militant hideout killed two militants and wounded 12 in the South Waziristan region bordering Afghanistan.

The officials say the explosion took place yesterday in the northwestern border town of Angore Adda. They say the casualties were from the Taliban-affiliated Haqqani militant network.

It wasn’t immediately clear what set off the bomb.
