Bomb hits Pak school bus; driver killed; 2 kids wounded

A roadside bomb exploded near a school bus in northwest Pakistan's main city yesterday, killing the driver and wounding at least two children, police said.
The city of Peshawar lies near the militant-riddled tribal regions of Pakistan and the Afghan border, and it has long been a favourite target of Taliban attacks. Militants in the northwest have frequently attacked schools especially those for girls but usually when children are not at the scene.
Police did not rule out the possibility that the bomb may have missed its intended target.
The bus was hit near a private school in the Bhana Mari neighbourhood, police official Shakir Khan said. Senior police official Ejaz Khan confirmed the death and wounded tolls.
