PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AFP) - A suicide car bomber rammed a Pakistan military vehicle on the edge of the northwest city of Peshawar Tuesday, killing four civilians and wounding another nine people, police said.
The attack happened near Bara, where the city limits of Peshawar run into the semi-autonomous tribal area of Khyber, which is infested with Taliban and Al-Qaeda linked militants.
"The suicide attacker rammed his car into the military vehicle. Four civilians were killed and nine people wounded, including four security personnel," local police official Mohsil Ali told AFP.
The targeted vehicle belonged to the paramilitary Frontier Corps unit, which is responsible for security in the border areas with Afghanistan, another police officer Abdul Ghafoor said.
