PESHAWAR, Pakistan - a car bomber struck a police facility in a cantonment of the army in the main Northwest city of Pakistan Wednesday at the beginning, said police. At least 14 people were injured in the latest attack in Pakistan since the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
Target of the bomber appeared to be a building belonging to the Department of criminal investigations of the police, but also the Pakistani army facilities are nearby, said Liaquat Ali Khan, a senior police in the field officer.
The building collapsed after the explosion of the morning, and authorities were looking for bodies or survivors in the rubble, he said.
No group immediately not claimed responsibility for the attack. But since 2 may raid U.S. Navy SEALs who killed the Chief of al-Qaeda, the Pakistani Taliban have claimed at least three attacks in the country.
More recently, the activist group said that he is behind an armed extremist team who attacked a Pakistani naval base in the South of the city of Karachi late Sunday and prompted the impasse over 18 hours which killed 10 people.
Four militants were also killed during the fighting, which has raised concerns about militant infiltration of security forces and whether the nuclear arsenal is safe.
