The Inter-Services Public Relations, the Pakistan Army’s media wing, said the attacker yesterday targetted the sports area of the armed forces’ unit and those killed include seven soldiers who were critically injured in the attack. A Taliban suicide bomber managed to enter the restricted area of the armed forces’ unit and blew himself up near the troops playing volleyball, killing 11 soldiers and wounding 13 others, in the first big attack after 2013 in Pakistan’s northwestern Swat Valley.
