DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) ‚ A suicide bomber attacked police officers in northwest Pakistan on Sunday as they treated civilians wounded by an earlier explosion, killing seven people and wounding at least 25 others, a police official said.
The officers were struck as they investigated a blast in Dera Ismail Khan, near the Afghan border, an area used by militants who launch attacks on American and NATO forces in Afghanistan.
Elsewhere in northwest Pakistan on Sunday, the Pakistani Army discovered a van packed with 880 pounds of explosives. Six people believed to be militants were arrested, the army media center said.
