Two roadside blasts in northwest Pakistan kill 7: police
Twin roadside blasts killed at least seven people in Pakistan's northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, police said on June 20.
"A private pickup truck carrying passengers was targeted with a remote-controlled IED... the injured were being transported to hospital in a car for emergency treatment when a second IED exploded," said Yasir Afridi, a police officer in Bannu district, adding that three people were wounded.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blasts but the militant group Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan is very active in the region.
Pakistan blames neighbouring Afghanistan for the rise in attacks in the country.
