PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AFP) - A roadside bomb ripped through a Pakistan air force bus in the northwestern city of Peshawar Tuesday, killing 13 people as fighting with Taliban militants raged nearby along the Afghan border.
A Taliban spokesman claimed responsibility for the blast, saying that it was carried out in revenge for military operations in the troubled tribal belt in which more than 150 people have been killed in the past week.
