At least nine people were killed and more than two dozen injured after a bomb rigged to a rickshaw exploded in a crowded bazaar in northwest Pakistan on Tuesday.
The blast occurred in Lakki Marwat district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where a bomb rigged to a rickshaw exploded in a busy bazaar, local police chief Azmat Ullah said.
Two traffic police personnel and a woman were among those killed, The Associated Press reported.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far, though suspicion is expected to fall on the Pakistani Taliban, or Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
The bombing comes days after 15 police officers were killed in a suicide bombing and gun assault on a security post in the nearby Bannu district, prompting Islamabad to summon a senior Afghan diplomat to lodge a formal complaint.
