Local Editor

A suicide bomber in northwest Pakistan on Friday accidentally detonated his vest while riding a motorcycle on an empty road, killing himself and two other militants also on bike, police said.

The incident took place in the Sufaid Sang suburb just northwest of Peshawar, the region’s major city, where the trio were likely planning an attack, a senior local police official said.

"Their plan was foiled when the suicide vest of one suicide bomber detonated prematurely," Kashif Zulfiqar said.
