Suicide car bombing kills 15 people in Pakistan
A suicide bomber rammed a car packed with explosives into the compound of a rival militant commander in northwest Pakistan on Thursday, killing 15 people, a government official said.
The commander, Nabi Hanfi, was not present at the time of the attack, said Wajid Khan, a local government administrator. Hanfi has been battling the Pakistani Taliban in the Orakzai tribal area where the bombing occurred. The blast killed 15 people and wounded six others, he said. No one has claimed responsibility, but suspicion will likely fall on the Pakistani Taliban. (AP)
