Suicide attack kills 5 Pakistani soldiers (AP)

PESHAWAR, Pakistan ? Police say a suicide car bomber has attacked a paramilitary camp in northwestern Pakistan, killing at least five soldiers.

Police officer Tahir Khan says the attack Saturday in Bannu town in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province also wounded 18 soldiers.

A spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban, Ehsanullah Ehsan, claimed responsibility for the attack. He said they targeted the troops to avenge the killing of a Taliban commander in a recent U.S. drone attack.

The Taliban attacked a paramilitary camp before dawn Friday, killing one soldier and kidnapping 15 others. They said that attack was also meant to avenge the dead commander.
