A roadside bombing in northwestern Pakistan on September 11 killed a soldier and wounded 10 people, including three civilians, authorities said. The blast hit a van belonging to the Frontier Corps as it was driving along the key Warsak Road in the city of Peshawar, police spokesman Bilal Faizi told RFE/RL.
