A suicide car-bomber killed 10 people at a security checkpost in northwest Pakistan on Monday as the army battled Taliban militants in the Swat valley. The bomber killed two paramilitary soldiers and eight civilians when he set off his explosives in a queue of cars at a checkpost on the outskirts of the main northwestern city of Peshawar, said a police spokesman, Fazal Naeem. "The target was the checkpost but he couldn't manage to reach the soldiers because of the queue," Naeem was quoted as saying by Reuters. There was no claim of responsibility for the blast.
