Pakistan: Five people, including a senior local administrator, were killed when a roadside bomb struck a government vehicle in northwestern Pakistan on Wednesday, injuring 11 others, according to local police, cited by news agency .
The attack occurred in Bajaur, a tribal district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, long seen as a haven for militant groups. Among the dead was Assistant Commissioner Faisal Sultan, a senior government officer. District police chief Waqas Rafique said the wounded had been rushed to hospital, with several in critical condition.
Although no group has claimed responsibility, officials suspect the Pakistani Taliban, or Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), to be behind the attack.
