| 2013-04-20 |
| A FEMALE suicide bomber has blown herself up outside a hospital in a lawless tribal area of northwest Pakistan, killing at least four people and wounding four others. The attack took place on Saturday in Khar, the main town of Bajaur tribal district bordering Afghanistan where the military has carried out several offensives against al-Qaeda-linked Taliban militants. "At least four people were killed and four others were wounded in the blast outside the main gate of the hospital," Mohammad Riaz, chief doctor at the government hospital said. "It was a female suicide bomber, about 18-20 years old. We have found her legs and head," local administration official Abdul Haseebhe said. The dead included a security personnel, a hospital worker and two civilians, he added. Bajaur is one of seven districts that make up Pakistan's federally administered tribal areas (FATA). |
