Suicide attack wounds five police

A suicide attack targeting police in north-west Pakistan late Sunday wounded five officers and badly damaged a vehicle, officials said. The bomber struck a police patrol in Dera Ismail Khan town in the troubled Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province which borders Afghanistan. "The suicide bomber was on foot. He blew himself up when the police vehicle was patrolling in a street," senior police official Qazi Jamil ur-Rehman told AFP.
"Five policemen were wounded, condition of one of them was critical," he said. This was the second attack in two days in the country's north-west.
