Bomb blast kills five in northwest Pakistan

PESHAWAR, May 11 (AFP): At least five people were killed and six injured when a suicide bomber blew himself up inside a stadium in northwest Pakistan on Sunday, officials said.

The bomber was believed to have been targeting a group of refugees from the country's troubled tribal belt who had gone to a government-run camp in the Arbab Niaz stadium to fill out paperwork ahead of their journey home.

Senior police official Faisal Mukhtar said the bomber blew himself up near a small mosque inside the stadium and the dead included one tribal policeman.

Najeeb U Rehman, another senior police official, confirmed the incident.
