Monday's bombing occurred on the outskirts of the main northwestern city of Peshawar. A suicide bomber blew up his car which was packed with explosives near the gate of a security force check post.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack. But militants have unleashed a wave of bomb attacks over the past two years, many aimed at ending military operations against them. The attack came as Pakistan's army pressed ahead with a fierce offensive against Taliban militants.
