Bomb blasts kill 3 in northwest Pakistan

PESHAWAR, Pakistan - Two roadside bombs Saturday killed two policemen and a civilian in northwest Pakistan, police said.

The policemen died when the vehicle they were travelling in was blown up in Nasir Bagh neighbourhood of provincial capital Peshawar, local police officer Majid Khan told AFP.

The bomb, apparently detonated by remote control, also injured two police officers, he said, adding that a police investigation was underway.

A bomb also struck a vehicle carrying civilians in Khyber tribal district just outside Peshawar, killing one person and injuring three others, local official Ghulam Habib told AFP.

Pakistan has suffered a spate of attacks in recent days despite ongoing peace talks between the new government, which took power in March, and Islamic militants based in the lawless northwestern tribal regions.

have you seen Harrison Ford's movie "clear and present danger".. if not get a copy and watch it..

this police van was literally broken into two separate parts.. and did you see the crater that was created .. it must be atleast 4 -5 feet deep..

the above mentioned movie shows a similar type of attack.. but that is from a precision guided smartbomb dropped from airforce plane.. it's purpose was exactly that.. to make it look as if the device had been planted in the vehicle ..
