Pakistan's Taliban claimed responsibility for a bomb on Wednesday that killed three U.S. Special Operations soldiers near a girls' school in northwest Pakistan and threatened more attacks on Americans.
In scenes that have become familiar in the struggle between Taliban insurgents and the state, a young girl trapped below the stones of a collapsed wall cried out for help after the blast.
Three children and a Pakistani soldier were also killed and 45 people, including 40 schoolgirls, were wounded in the attack near Swat Valley, where the government mounted a crackdown nearly a year ago that it said had cleared out Taliban militants. More on Reuters
