Peshawar: Two members of Pakistan’s security forces were killed and 19 others injured on Saturday when a suicide bomber with an explosive-laden motorcycle targeted their convoy in the restive tribal district in northwest Pakistan bordering Afghanistan, an official said.

Two security personnel were killed and 19 others were injured. Three of the wounded were said to be in critical condition, officials said.
They said the injured were transferred to the Combined Military Hospital in Peshawar.
The entire area has been cordoned off and law-enforcement agencies have launched an investigation into the attack.
