 MIRAN SHAH, Pakistan (AP) - An explosion at a Pakistani house near the Afghan border killed eight people Saturday, witnesses said. A tribal elder claimed U.S. helicopters had attacked, but the American military denied operating in the area.
About an hour after Saturday's blast, suspected Islamic militants raided a checkpoint 30 miles away, killing eight Pakistani security forces deployed to stop militants from entering or leaving Afghanistan.
There was no indication the two incidents were linked.
