KP information minister says four, including two Americans, killed and 20 injured as suicide bomber rams explosives-laden car into US consulate vehicle
US State Department confirms consulate vehicle was hit but that no Americans were killed
PESHAWAR: A suicide car bomber struck a US consulate vehicle on Monday, killing four people in the deadliest attack targeting Americans in the frontline state of the war on al Qaeda for two years.
Two Americans were among the four people killed, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Iftikhar Hussain and senior police officials said, while US officials said no Americans were killed in the attack.
“Two American nationals were killed in the attack,” the information minister told reporters after the incident.
The bomber had targeted the foreigners’ vehicle to give the impression that the provincial government had failed to provide them appropriate security, he added.
Pakistani security officials told AFP that the US vehicle was the target and a half-burnt US passport was recovered from a vehicle after the attack.
