Pakistan bus bombing kills 18

At least 18 people have been killed in a bomb attack on a bus carrying government employees in North West Pakistan.



The vehicle is said to have been taking the workers to their offices when it was hit on the outskirts of the city of Peshawar.



At least 34 people are also thought to have been injured in the incident.

Peshawar lies near Pakistan's lawless tribal belt - a stronghold of Taliban and al-Qaeda militants.



Hundreds have died in attacks in and around the city in recent years.

The attack comes a day after a bomb killed at least 15 people in the Pakistani city of Quetta.
