Pakistan

A bus bombing killed 11 and wounded 40 in Karachi. The government said 23 Taliban and seven soldiers were killed after the Taliban ambushed a convoy in Mohmand; the Taliban said 17 soldiers were captured. The Mehsud tribe is urging the Taliban to free four paramilitary troops captured last week. The military captured four “most wanted” Taliban fighters in Swat.
