The Taliban detonated a car bomb next to two U.S. consulate cars carrying Americans in northwest Pakistan on Friday, wounding some of them, as AP reported. One Pakistani passer-by was killed and at least 10 people were believed to have been wounded, including an unknown number of Americans. The Americans' wounds were not serious, an embassy spokesman said. The Pakistani Taliban, an al-Qaida allied group behind scores of attacks in recent years, claimed responsibility.
