News: Pakistan suicide car bombing kills five

A suicide car bomb near a police station near Hangu has killed at least five people, police say. About 25 people were injured by the blast, including a policeman and pedestrians. Reports said that the car exploded in Doaba, a town about 30km from Hangu district.

This is the latest of a series of attacks near the Afghan border. The driver rammed the car into the barricades outside the police station which caused a huge explosion. Part of the police station was demolished by the blast and the impact damaged at least ten houses nearby.  

Earlier this month, at least four people, including three policemen, were killed in an explosion in Hangu. More than 30 people, including women and children, were injured in the blast which took place near a police patrol van.

This is horrible to see. The suicide bombings have become a common occurrence in the Middle East and it is disappointing. The authorities have no control over it.
