5 killed in suicide attack
ISLAMABAD - PAKISTANI officials say a suicide bombing at a bus terminal near the capital has killed at least five people and wounded 16 others.

Rehman Malik, the head of Pakistan's Interior Ministry, says it is unclear if the bomber deliberately targeted the area in the blast late Monday or if the explosives went off prematurely.

Television images showed rescue workers helping the wounded to ambulances and gloved investigators picking debris from among several badly damaged cars and minibuses after the blast. -- AP
