Five Die In Pakistan Suicide Bombing

Police say a suicide bombing in Pakistan's north western city of Peshawar has killed at least five people and injured 49.

The attack occurred outside a local district court building.

Officials said the suicide bomber arrived at the court by rickshaw, and blew himself up when he was stopped while trying to access the building.

Local TV showed smoke billowing from the scene while a car and rickshaw were engulfed in flames.

On November 19, a suicide bomber killed 19 people outside a separate judicial complex in Peshawar.

The city is the main gateway to the tribal belt where Pakistan's army is attempting to stamp out the Taliban.
