Blast on Peshawar's outskirts kills

PESHAWAR: A police officer says a bomb exploded in northwest Pakistan near a vehicle carrying officials taking part in an anti-polio campaign, killing at least six people.

Police official Samiullah Khan says Monday morning's bomb killed four police officers and two members of a local peace committee riding in the van.



Khan said the bombing happened in the village of Malikhel, outside the provincial capital of Peshawar.
