Police say a bomb has exploded at a police checkpoint in northwestern Pakistan, killing one officer and wounding two others.
Local police officer Zahir Shah says the bomb went off at a barricade outside a mud-brick police post on Saturday in the town of Shabqadar, which lies close to the Mohmand tribal region. The area is a hotbed for militants fighting the government, and has witnessed many such attacks in recent years. (AP)
