14 soldiers killed in southwest Pakistan ambush

The attack was claimed by a spokesman for the Baluch Liberation Front, a
militant group, in calls to television stations and newspapers.

In a similar ambush on November 21 militants killed 14 soldiers in Musakhel
District.

In December a car bomb blast in the southwestern Pakistani city of Quetta
killed 15.

Quetta is the capital of the troubled Baluchistan province which neighbours
both Afghanistan and Iran and is gripped by a regional insurgency for
self-determination. It is also a flashpoint for Taliban and sectarian
violence.

Wednesday’s attack came a day after a remote-controlled bomb killed 35 people
and wounded more than 60 others in the troubled Khyber tribal region of
northwest Pakistan.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for that bombing but local
residents suggested it was a tribal dispute.
