PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) - A rocket fired into a military base in Pakistan's restive northwest on Thursday killed one soldier, and roadside bombs elsewhere in the region wounded 10 people in a military convoy and a police van, officials said.
The separate attacks came as government security forces struggle to contain militants in the tribal
belt along Pakistan's border with Afghanistan who have recently intensified operations against the military.
In South Waziristan tribal region, a rocket fired into a military base in the mountainous Tiarza region killed one army soldier and wounded two others, an intelligence official said on condition of anonymity because he was unauthorized to speak to the media.
It was the first deadly attack since 2005, when a militant leader in the area promised to halt attacks against security forces in return for an amnesty by the government, the official said.
In neighboring North Waziristan, two roadside bombs exploded in quick succession as a military convoy drove into the main town of Miran Shah, an intelligence official said. One of the blasts hit a truck in the convoy, wounding a soldier, the official said.
Earlier Thursday, security forces opened fire on suspected militants near checkpoints around Miran Shah, officials said. There were no reports of injuries.
Further north, in North West Frontier Province, a police van carrying prisoners and officers back from a court hearing was hit by a bomb near Timergara town, police officer Shahjehan Khan said. Six prisoners and three officers were wounded.
He said police were investigating the explosion, and refused to speculate who may have been responsible.
Taliban militants have been expanding their influence from strongholds in the tribal belt, and Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf is under growing pressure from his key international backer, the United States, to crack down.
Since a bloody army siege of Islamabad's radical Red Mosque earlier this month, Pakistan has sent thousands of troops to the northwest, triggering a fierce militant response. More than 300 people who have died in violence across the country this month.
Militants have killed dozens of soldiers with suicide attacks in North Waziristan.

In North West Frontier Province, two suicide bombers and a roadside bomb simultaneously struck a military convoy earlier this month, killing 11 soldiers and three civilians.
Small-scale roadside bombs have also hit police in recent days, without causing serious casualties.
