Suicide bombing in Pakistan garrison city kills at least 6
ISLAMABAD (Pakistan) - A SUICIDE bomber on a motorbike rammed into a minibus carrying security personnel, detonating a blast on Monday that killed at least six people in the Pakistani garrison city of Rawalpindi, police said.

The bus was destroyed and several other people were wounded in the explosion on a road running through a bazaar near the offices of the army's engineering department, police official Abdul Waheedsaid.

It was not immediately clear which branch of the armed forces the passengers were from. Police said the army had cordoned off the area. -- AP
