Four Policemen killed in Pakistan Car bomb blast

A suicide car bomb struck a Pakistani police checkpoint on the outskirts of Peshawar previous to dawn Wednesday, killing four policemen and injured 10 people, counting a woman, police said.

The assailant struck near Checkpoint ten Bala village on the main road from Pakistan's northwestern capital of Mohmand, one of the seven districts of Al-Qaida and the Taliban-infested tribal belt on the Afghan border.

"The car was on its way from the tribal area. It was full of explosives and suicide attacks came from Mohmand," policeman Liaqat Ali said.
