PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Police say a bomb has killed at least five people at a funeral attended by anti-Taliban militiamen in northwest Pakistan.
The blast Wednesday took place close to the city of Peshawar.
Local police chief Ghaffar Khan says the funeral was for the wife of an anti-Taliban militiamen in the Matani area.
Like in other parts of the northwest, Matani is home to several tribal armies that fight against the Taliban and get some government support.
The militants have often targeted the militiamen.
