8 Killed in Pakistan Blast

   VOA News  May 28, 2011

   Officials in northwest Pakistan say a bomb blast has ripped through a
   restaurant at a market, killing eight people and wounding 10 other
   people.
   Authorities say the attack happened Saturday at a bazaar in the
   Salarzai area of the restive Bajur tribal region near the Afghan
   border.
   Local officials say two pro-government elders were among dead.
   Taliban militants have targeted members of the Salarzai tribe in the
   past because the tribe has formed a militia to drive the militants out
   of the region.
   No one has claimed responsibility for the attack.

   Some information for this report was provided by AP and AFP.
