Suicide truck bomb kills 8 troops in Pakistan

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- A suicide bomber rammed his explosives-laden truck into a paramilitary forces base in northwest Pakistan Sunday, killing at least eight troops, the army said.

The attack occurred near Wana in South Waziristan, part of the swath of tribal areas along the country's border with Afghanistan that intelligence officials consider a haven for militants.

The victims were members of the Frontier Corps, a paramilitary force that uses recruits from Pakistan's tribal areas and is overseen by Pakistani army officers.
