PESHAWAR, Pakistan?A suicide car bomber killed at least eight people in an attack Monday on a police post in northwest Pakistan, a hotbed of Al-Qaeda-linked violence, a police official said.

"A suicide attacker drove his bomb-laden vehicle into the back of the police post" in Laki Marwat in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, not far from tribal areas that are a stronghold of the Taliban, local police chief Gul Wali Khan told AFP by telephone.
