5 killed in suicide attack on paramilitary camp in Pak

Islamabad, May 21: Five persons were killed and over 20 injured when a suspected suicide bomber targeted a paramilitary camp in Tank district of Pakistan's troubled North West Frontier Province today.
The suspected suicide attacker rammed his explosive-laden vehicle into the camp of the Frontier Corps at Jandola Bazar in Tank this evening. Reports said several of the dead were paramilitary personnel.

Several civilians injured in the attack were taken to hospitals in nearby Dera Ghazi Khan and Tank cities.

Several shops and vehicles were destroyed by the blast. Security forces cordoned off the area soon after the attack.

Reports suggested militants might have carried out the attack in retaliation for the operations mounted by security forces against the Taliban in Buner, Dir and Swat districts of the NWFP. PTI
