5 killed in Pakistan suicide bombing

At least five people were killed and five wounded when a suicide bomber blew himself up outside an army facility in northwest Pakistan yesterday, the military and police said.
The bomber, who was on a bicycle, detonated his explosives at a checkpost outside an army centre in the garrison city of Nowshera, 130 kilometres (80 miles) west of the capital Islamabad, a military spokesman told AFP.
"Five people have lost their lives, three civilians and two army men," spokesman Major General Waheed Arshad said.
Police confirmed the death toll and said five people were wounded in the attack. "Some of the injured are in a critical condition," local police officer Abid Khan told AFP.
He said the checkpost was on a busy thoroughfare.
