Police: Bomb blast kills 6 in NW Pakistan

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — A bomb exploded at a bus stand in northwest Pakistan early Sunday, killing six people in the latest violence to hit the country since the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden.

The attack also followed reports that another top al-Qaida operative, Ilyas Kashmiri, had been killed in a recent American missile strike along Pakistan's border with Afghanistan.

The blast occurred at a bazaar in the Matani area, around 12 miles (20 kilometers) south of the main northwest city of Peshawar.

At least 10 people were wounded. Many of the dead and injured were in a pickup truck near the bus stand, police official Abdul Ghaffar Khan said.
