The attack took place Tuesday morning in the Datta Khel area of the North Waziristan tribal region, injuring two soldiers, said Pakistani intelligence officials. The area is a known sanctuary for Taliban and al-Qa'ida militants and has been targeted repeatedly by covert US drone strikes.
Pakistani troops responded to the attack with machine gun fire and deployed two helicopter gunships over the army post, but the Nato helicopter had already left, said the Pakistani officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
