Baku, October 12 (AZERTAC). At least 29 people have been killed in a bombing near Swat valley in north-west Pakistan, BBC said.

The explosion hit a security convoy in Shangla district - an area the military said it had retaken from militants. It is the latest in a string of attacks and comes ahead of an expected army assault against the militants in South Waziristan near the Afghan border.

On Saturday militants stormed the army headquarters in Rawalpindi. Pakistan has vowed to hit back "imminently". The Pakistani Taliban said it was responsible for the attack in Rawalpindi, saying it had been carried out by a Punjab faction of the group.
