Peshawar blast kills three

ISLAMABAD: Yet another suicide bombing in the North-West Frontier Province capital Peshawar killed three people and left five wounded.

The bombing came a day after at least 13 people were killed and more than 40 wounded in a suicide attack at a cattle market near the city. Last month, a massive bombing in a market in the city left more than a 100 dead.

In the latest attack, the suicide bomber was a passenger in an auto-rickshaw and detonated himself when stopped at a checkpoint. The blast killed the rickshaw driver, a policeman at the checkpoint and a passer-by.
