Four children among 11 killed in Pakistan bomb attack
A suicide car bomber attacked a police checkpoint in north west Pakistan today, killing 11 people, including four children, the latest in a wave of militant attacks that have claimed more than 300 lives in the past month.
The attack on the outskirts of Peshawar solidifies the city’s ominous status as a primary target for militants trying to force the military to end an offensive against their associates launched last month in the border region of South Waziristan, where al Qaida and Taliban leaders are believed to be hiding.
