Peshawar, Pakistan – Another suicide bomber claimed the lives of four people and wounded 24, today, Monday, November 16.
Since the Pakistani army has begun its offensive against the Taliban, hundreds have been killed.
Today’s bombing occurred at the Afghan border near Pakistan’s northwestern city of Peshawar.
The bomber was driving a small van of a type often used as a delivery vehicle and police opened fire on him when he refused to stop for a check, said Peshawar police chief Liaquat Ali Khan. The blast officials said badly damaged the police station, a mosque and a shop.
A growing number of recent attacks in Pakistan have targeted civilians, including a suicide bombing at a market in Peshawar in late October that killed 112 people, the deadliest attack in Pakistan in more than two years.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks targeting public places, but Pakistani officials have blamed the Taliban.
