Suicide Bomb Hits Pakistan Air Force Bus
news.bbc.co.uk

A suicide bomber has rammed a motorcycle into a bus carrying air force employees in Pakistan's Punjab province, killing at least five people.

Officials say about 40 others were wounded in the attack.

It took place near the city of Sargodha, which is home to the largest air force base in the country.

Violence has soared in Pakistan since troops stormed the radical Red Mosque in the capital, Islamabad, in July, with the deaths of at least 100 people.

After Thursday's bombing, military spokesman Waheed Arshad said: "It was a suicide attack and the target was the bus which was carrying the air force officials."

Maj-Gen Waheed called it "an act of terrorism" and said the victims had been heading for duty.

July's assault on the Red Mosque was launched after its clerics and students had waged a campaign to enforce strict Sharia law in Islamabad.

Ever since the operation, troops have been the target of most attacks.
