PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Police say a suicide car bomber has attacked a police building in the northwest Pakistani city of Peshawar.

Fourteen people have been wounded in the blast, which occurred at a criminal investigation facility in an army cantonment area in the city.

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the Wednesday blast. But a string of attacks in Pakistan have followed the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden.

The Pakistani Taliban vowed revenge and has already claimed three attacks since the May 2 raid.

Area police official Liaquat Ali Khan says the building collapsed and authorities are searching for bodies in the rubble.
