PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Police say a bomb has exploded near a school in northwest Pakistan’s main city, killing at least two children.
Several other children were wounded in the Monday blast in Peshawar.
Police official Shakir Khan says the bus was parked outside a private school. A few children were getting on the bus when the explosion occurred.
He says the exact nature of the bomb was not yet clear. The victims were being rushed to the hospital.
Peshawar has long been a favorite target of Taliban attacks, though children are rarely targeted.
