[Dawn] A jacket wallah went kaboom!near a cop shoppe in northwestern Pakistain on Tuesday, killing six people, including two children, officials said.
The attack occurred in the town of Bannu, which lies close to Pakistain's tribal belt on the Afghan border.
"It was a suicide kaboom. The bomber came on foot and let 'er rip near a police van close to a cop shoppe," said Bannu police chief Iftikhar Khan.
"The corpse count is now six. They include two boys aged seven and nine, one police official and three pedestrians. Nineteen people were maimed," Khan told AFP.
Officials had said earlier that four people died.
"Our van was the target of the blast," police official Raza Khan told AFP.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but Talibs frequently bomb government security forces in the northwest.
Around 4,000 people have been killed in suicide and bomb attacks across Pakistain since government forces raided an Islamic myrmidon mosque in Islamabad in 2007. The attacks have been blamed on Taliban and al Qaeda-linked networks.
