PESHAWAR: A car bomb in Peshawar on Friday targeted a US consulate convoy but caused no American deaths or serious injuries, said US embassy spokesman Alberto Rodriguez.
One passerby was killed and 10 Pakistanis were wounded, said a hospital official. One American was slightly wounded in the attack in the blast.
The two consulate vehicles were heading to the consulate when one of the vehicles was hit by the blast.
The attack took place on a main road in the northwestern city. The car used in the attack was parked on a road when the bomb exploded, forcing the consulate vehicle to slam into an electricity pole, said the police official.
"There was an attack on a two-car convoy from the consulate in Peshawar. One car was hit. We are still investigating what actually happened," said Rodriguez. (Reuters)
