Suicide bombing kills 5 in northwest Pakistan

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) ? A police officer says a suicide bombing in northwest Pakistan has killed five people, including three policemen.

Asif Iqbal says the attack Wednesday targeted the vehicle of a senior police officer outside a police station in a crowded market in the city of Peshawar. The blast killed the senior officer, two other policemen and two bystanders. The bombing also wounded 20 people.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

The Pakistani Taliban often target security forces in the country's northwest. Peshawar has been hit many times because it is located on the border of Pakistan's tribal region, the main sanctuary for militants in the country.
