A car bomb suicide attack apparently targeting a brigadier in northwest Pakistan killed at least four people and wounded 24 others on Tuesday, police said.

Senior local police official Najib-ur-Rehman said, "It was a vehicle-borne suicide attack, which killed three people including an FC [Frontier Constabulary] soldier, and wounded 13 others," adding the two others were civilians.

He said it seemed the attacker blew up his car very close to the FC vehicles. He added that the attack appeared to be in reaction to the ongoing military operation in North Waziristan tribal region.

The Pakistani military began a long-awaited push to clear militant bases from North Waziristan in June after a bloody attack on Karachi airport finally sank faltering peace talks with the rebels.
