PESHAWAR: A suicide bomber attacked a club for journalists in Pakistan's northwest city of Peshawar on Tuesday, killing three people and wounding 17 others, officials said.
The force of the explosion blew out the windows in the imposing red brick building, damaging the guard hut outside and nearby vehicles, said police.
'It was a suicide attack. The bomber wanted to enter the building. The police official at the gate stopped him and he blew himself up,' senior police official Karim Khan told AFP.
However, the city's main Lady Reading Hospital said four people were killed, including a policeman and a press club employee.
'We have received four bodies and 17 injured,' Doctor Zafar Iqbal told AFP.
Police said four journalists were among the wounded.
'The guard room outside the gate was badly damaged. Three motorcycles parked inside the compound and one bus on the other side of the road were damaged. Almost all windows of the building were shattered,' said Khan.
This is the first outright attack on the journalist community in Peshawar. This follows a series of threats issued against publications as well as journalists by militants.
According to details, a press conference was scheduled at the press club, when the attacker struck. Witnesses say the bomber tried to enter the press club but was stopped at the gate.
