Explosion On Bus In NW Pakistan Kills At Least 15

January 17, 2011

At least 15 people have been killed and nearly a dozen wounded in an explosion on a minibus in northwestern Pakistan.

It's unclear whether the January 17 explosion was caused by a bomb or the gas cylinder used to power the bus.

The bus was traveling between the cities of Hangu and Kohat when the blast occurred.

Islamist militants frequently carry out attacks in this area against both civilians and security forces.
