Teen Suicide Bomber Kills 18 On Pakistan Bus

Officials say a teenage suicide bomber detonated explosives on a bus in Kohat, Pakistan Wednesday. At least 18 people were killed and 33 others wounded in the explosion. The bus exploded as it was leaving the Tirah Bazar market. No other details on the incident were available. Kohat is located in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

Earlier this week in the Mohmand Agency district of Pakistan, two suicide bombers killed 40 people at a government building. Both men were dressed as policemen and their vests were packed with bullets. The attack was launched just as government officials were scheduled to meet with a volunteer militia group and tribal elders.
