Car bomb kills three in Pakistan

PAKISTAN: A car bomb outside a police station killed at least three people and wounded 15 in Mardan town in northwest Pakistan on Friday, a senior police officer said.

“The car was parked outside the police station. It was packed with explosives and blew up, damaging the station and several nearby shops in the bazaar,” senior officer Tahir Khan said.

The blast broke a lull in militant attacks on security forces that had held since a new government came to power at the end of March. Islamabad, Friday, Reuters
