PESHAWAR: Two people were killed and 14 others wounded when a suicide bomber blew up his explosive-laden car near a police post in northwestern Pakistan late Thursday, police said.
The blast, at a checkpost near a police station in the Lakki Marwat district of troubled Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, damaged 12 shops and seven houses, local police chief Gul Wali Khan told AFP.
Police signalled a suspect vehicle to stop and opened fire when the driver ignored the instruction, he said.
“The bomber detonated his car. Two civilians were killed when their house collapsed. It was a suicide car bomb attack.
“At least 14 people, seven of them police officials, were wounded,” he said, adding that none of them were seriously hurt and all were out of danger.
