A suicide bomber on Monday targeted a police van on a busy thoroughfare of Peshawar city in northwest Pakistan, killing 10 persons, including the son of a member of the Afghan High Peace Council.
The attacker, reportedly riding a motorcycle, detonated his explosives near the police van on University Road on Monday morning. The van was close to a bus stop and a crowded bus that was passing by bore the brunt of the blast, police officials and witnesses said.
