Six people have been killed and more than 30 wounded in a suicide bombing at a checkpoint in Pakistan.
The attacker had attempted to drive his vehicle into Hazara Town in Baluchistan province's capital Quetta, where a recent surge in sectarian unrest has killed scores of Shi'ites, city police chief Zubair Mahmood said.
'He detonated the vehicle when the soldiers at a paramilitary check-post near the Sh'iite neighbourhood stopped it,' the police officer told AFP.
The blast left six people dead including a soldier, senior administration official Abdul Mansoor told AFP.
