By The Associated Press | PESHAWAR, Pakistan - A senior police official says a suicide car bomber has killed seven police officers in volatile northwestern Pakistan.
The Saturday morning bombing happened at a road block where police were checking vehicles traveling from Khyber tribal region into Peshawar, the regional capital not far from the Afghan border.
Senior police official Safwat Ghayur says several officers also were wounded when the car carrying the attacker was motioned to stop.
He says it was unclear whether the road block was the target.
Al-Qaida and Taliban militants have staged numerous attacks in northwestern Pakistan, with police a favorite target. Many are believed involved in attacks on U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
