Two killed in suicide attack in Bannu
PESHAWAR: A suicide bomber blew himself up near a police station in northwest Pakistan on Tuesday, killing at least three people, DawnNews reported.
The bomb exploded in the town of Bannu, which lies close to Pakistans lawless tribal belt on the Afghan border, which Washington has branded al Qaedas global headquarters and the most dangerous region on earth.
It was a suicide attack. The bomber came on foot and detonated himself near a police van close to a police station, Bannu police chief Iftikhar Khan told AFP.
Police and medics earlier said two people were killed.
Our van was the target of the blast. It killed one police official and wounded another policeman, local police official Raza Khan told AFP.
A civilian was also killed and several other local people wounded, he said.
Hospital official Nisar Khan had earlier confirmed two people had died.
We have received two dead bodies and about a dozen wounded people. Most of them are ordinary citizens, he added.
