Bomb blast in Pak's Khyber region kills 10 including militant commander

In Pakistan, at least 10 people, including a militant commander, have been killed in a bomb blast in a remote village market in Khyber region on the Afghan border. <br/><br/>A Pakistani intelligence official said the death toll could rise as many people are still trapped under the rubble. The attack apparently targeted a commander of Lashkar-e-Islam militant group based in the region. <br/><br/>The group is not part of Pakistan's main Taliban alliance but espouses the same hardline interpretation of Islam. Officials said today's blast appeared to be related to rivalry between militant factions.<br/>
