Pakistani bomb attack kills six Pakistani bomb attack kills seven
(about 1 hour later)
The Pakistani authorities say a suicide bomber has targeted a police station in the northwestern city of Hangu. At least seven people have been killed and 13 injured in a suicide car bombing at a police college in north-western Pakistan, officials have said.
At least six people are reported killed and 13 others injured in the attack on Thursday morning. Police in Hangu said the attacker blew his car up after guards tried to stop him crashing through the building's gates as recruits went out on parade.
The region has seen a series of attacks against government targets since security forces in Islamabad stormed a mosque controlled by radical Islamists. Meanwhile, at last four people have been killed by an explosion in Hub, 35km (23 miles) north of Karachi.
The mosque assault prompted militants along the border to scrap controversial peace accords with the government. The bomb was planted at a restaurant on a highway near the industrial town.
Officials at the hospital in Hangu, 70 km (45 miles) southwest of Peshawar, said five policemen and one passer-by had been killed by the blast. Witnesses said the explosives were detonated as a convoy of Chinese engineers and their Pakistani security escort drove past.
Chinese nationals have recently been the target nationalist insurgents in the province of Balochistan.
The rebels are opposed to large federal development projects, many of which are being carried out by Chinese firms.
Peace accord scrapped
The BBC's M Ilyas Khan says there are conflicting reports about the number of casualties from the attack on the police training facility in Hangu, the largest in North-West Frontier Province.
The city's police chief has said seven people, including six policemen have been killed.
However, journalists have seen the bodies of at least four civilians, including a child, at the local hospital.
Dozens have been killed in the region in a spate of recent bombings by militants opposed to the government.
The attacks began after troops stormed the radical Red Mosque in Islamabad.
The assault prompted pro-Taleban militants along the border to scrap a controversial 10-month-old peace agreement with the government.
