Six killed in multiple bomb blasts in Pakistan
Multiple bombings in a time span of three days have rocked Pakistan, with the latest attacks claiming the lives of six people in the northwest.
On Wednesday, an assailant riding a motorbike attacked a van transporting a judge in the city of Peshawar.
Senior police official Sajjad Khan said the driver of the van was killed and five people, including the judge, were injured.
The Peshawar bombing came hours after two attackers hit a government compound in the tribal area of Mohmand near the Afghan border. Hamidullah Khattak, a local administration official, said three policemen and two passers-by died in the attack.
"One attacker came by foot and started firing at forces while the other was on a motorbike and rammed into the main gate of the complex," media outlets quoted Khattak as saying.
On Monday, a deadly bombing rocked Lahore, the capital of Punjab province, killing over a dozen people.
