Bomb blast kills 11 in Pakistan

A BOMB ripped through a passenger vehicle parked at a bus terminal near the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar yesterday, killing six and wounding 11 others.

The bomb was planted at the terminal near a market in Matani, about 20 kilometres south of Peshawar, which lies near Pakistan’s lawless tribal region on the Afghan border, senior police officer Kalam Khan said.

“We have reports that six people were killed and 11 wounded,” Khan told AFP.
