ISLAMABAD: Intelligence officials say six soldiers have been killed in a rocket attack on an army convoy in northwest Pakistan.

The officials say militants hit the convoy near Datta Khel in North Waziristan. They say some soldiers were also wounded in the attack.

Four intelligence officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to release the information to media.

A purported Taliban spokesman Ahmadullah Ahmadi claimed responsibility for the attack.

Clashes between the military and insurgents are increasing in Pakistan's volatile northwest, where the army appears to be preparing an offensive in South Waziristan, aimed at eliminating the leader of the Pakistani Taliban.
