A suicide bomber rammed a car filled with explosives into a US government vehicle in northwestern Pakistan yesterday, killing two Pakistanis and wounding 19 others, including two Americans.
The bomber struck the vehicle after it left the US Consulate in Peshawar and while it was traveling through an area of the city that hosts various international organizations, including the United Nations, said police officer Pervez Khan, who was part of the security escort for the vehicle as it moved.
The attack killed two Pakistanis and wounded 19 other people. Two Americans and two Pakistanis working at the US Consulate in Peshawar were among the wounded, the US Embassy said in a statement, calling the attack a "heinous act."
The car driven by the suicide bomber contained 110 kilograms of explosives, Pakistani police officer Abdul Haq said.
The blast ripped apart the SUV carrying the US Consulate employees and triggered a raging fire.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
