At least six people have been killed in a suicide
bombing near the offices of the army's engineering
department in the Pakistani city of Rawalpindi.
The attack on Monday destroyed a minibus on a road
running through a market in the Pakistani garrison
city, police officials said.
About 25 people were also reported injured in the
explosion.
"The bomber was apparently on a motorcycle and rammed
into a military vehicle," a military official at the
scene said.
A witness said that several vehicles were badly
damaged in the blast and army caps could be seen
scattered on the ground.
"I heard a huge blast and immediately rushed to the
site. There was a small army bus, it was badly damaged
with all the doors and windows blown out," an
eyewitness told the AFP news agency.
"While I was trying to see if there were dead and
injured people inside, the army immediately came in
and ushered me away."
Further strikes 'planned'
Meanwhile, a top interior ministry official in Punjab
province, of which Rawalpindi is part, said more
bombers were plotting to strike.
Khusro Pervaiz Khan, a provincial home secretary,
said: "We are receiving information that a new spate
of these terrorist bombers is on and they have entered
the province of Punjab in different localities."
Suicide blasts have struck in Rawalpindi, which is the
home of Pakistan's army, at least five times in the
past year, including an attack on a bus taking staff
of Pakistan's main intelligence agency to work.
Benazir Bhutto, an opposition leader and former prime
minister, died after a suicide bombing and shooting as
she left an election rally in Rawalpindi on December
27.
A suicide bomber killed seven people near the offices
of Pervez Musharraf, the president, on October 30.
There have been no claims of responsibility for the
previous attacks, but authorities have blamed Taliban
and tribal fighters based near the Afghan border.
