By Xinhua,
Islamabad : Three people were killed in a bomb blast outside a mosque in northwestern Pakistan, local TV reported on Monday evening.
The blast occurred in Pakistan’s Bajaur tribal agency and several others were also injured, state-run Pakistan TV channel said.
No further details are available.
The blast came just a day after a suicide bombing killed 13 people in Pakistan’s tribal area, including four soldiers.
Reports said Pakistan’s pro-Taliban militant group Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), or Taliban Movement of Pakistan, had claimed responsibility for the suicide attack.
The Pakistani government has been negotiating with local Taliban militants in northwestern area. The two sides had held swap of prisoners and were likely to ink a peace agreement in near future.
