Suicide attack in Pakistan kills 14

A suicide bomber detonated a car in an alley behind a police station in a strategically vital town in northwest Pakistan on Monday, killing at least 14 people, including 9 police, and injuring 34 others in an explosion that shattered the station and neighboring homes, police said, according to AFP.

The attack took place in Lakki Marwat, which sits on the main road and rail link between Punjab Province, Pakistan's largest and most prosperous, and the North and South Waziristan tribal regions. A Pakistani army offensive pushed many militants out of South Waziristan in October. The militants still control much of North Waziristan, where U.S. drone aircraft have been conducting a campaign of targeted killings.
