PESHAWAR: A bomb resembling a toy killed at least seven children on Sunday in the tribal area bordering Afghanistan, officials said.The bomb exploded while the children were playing with it in the Speenmark village in the South Waziristan tribal district. “Seven children aged between 6 to 12 years, all boys, were killed by a toy bomb and two others wounded critically,” a local government official told AFP on condition of a**nymity. A**ther local security official confirmed the incident and casualties. The origin of the bomb was unclear. Dozens of children, mostly in **rthwest Pakistan, have lost their lives in the past when playing with “toys” that turned out to be explosive devices. “Toy” bombs were airdropped in neighbouring Afghanistan by Soviet forces during the 1980s as ******* against those who opposed their invasion. South Waziristan is also one of the seven semi-auto**mous tribal areas, where the army has for more than a decade been battling militants linked to the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. The army launched an operation in June 2014 in neighbouring **rth Waziristan to wipe out militant bases in the tribal areas and end an insurgency that has cost thousands of civilian lives since 2004. As a result, security has improved. Attacks still take place but fewer than previously. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Toy bomb kills seven children in tribal area || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
