 ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) - Militants bombed an army convoy then raked it with gunfire Wednesday, killing 17 soldiers and continuing a wave of violence that has stirred doubts about Pakistan's stability.
At least five suspected militants also died in clashes with security forces in North Waziristan, a Taliban and al-Qaida stronghold on the Afghan border where a disputed peace deal has collapsed and Pakistani troops have moved in.
On Thursday, a suicide car bomber attacked a policy academy in another frontier area in the northwest, killing up to six people, officials said.
