Fourth suicide bomber strikes Pakistan in a day

A series of suicide attacks killed six in Pakistan yesterday, unnerving citizens whose growing sense of security has been shaken by multiple blasts this week, reports AFP from Peshawar.
The latest assault happened in Peshawar, said police, after a bomber rode a motorcycle into a van carrying a judge travelling through an upmarket neighbourhood. “It was a suicide attack,” senior police official Sajjad Khan told AFP, adding that five people including the judge were injured. The driver of the van was killed.
The attack came after two suicide bombers launched an attack on a govt compound in Pakistan’s restive tribal area earlier yesterday, killing five people and injuring 7 others.
“One attacker came by foot and started firing at forces while the other was on a motorbike and rammed into the main gate of the complex,” Hamidullah Khattak, an administration official in Mohmand tribal  district, told AFP.
