Suicide bomber kills soldier, injures seven in Pakistan
AFP - Tuesday, November 4
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AFP) - - A suspected suicide bomber blew himself up Tuesday at a checkpost in a remote northwestern Pakistan district, killing a soldier and injuring seven others, officials said.
The attack took place in the town of Doaba in northwestern Hangu district, which has a history of sectarian and militant violence.
"One soldier embraced martyrdom," a military spokesman told AFP on condition of anonymity. Seven others were injured, he added.
Earlier, the mayor of the town of Hangu, Khan Afzal, said: "A suicide bomber attacked an army checkpost."
Police official Mohammad Hanif said the injured were paramilitary and police personnel manning the checkpost outside the town's main market.
"The bombing took place when paramilitary soldiers and police were checking cars entering Doaba market," Hanif told AFP, adding it appeared the bomber had been on foot.
