A bomb ripped through a passenger vehicle parked at a bus terminal in Peshawar, killing four people and wounding eight others.

The bomb was planted at the terminal near a market in Matani, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) south of Peshawar, which lies near Pakistan’s lawless tribal region on the Afghan border, senior police officer Kalam Khan said on Sunday.

He said the injured had been rushed to the hospital in Peshawar where the condition of one woman was critical.

“It appears to be a remote controlled bomb placed in a passenger vehicle waiting to leave for a rural area,” Peshawar police chief Mohammad Ijaz said, adding that three other vehicles were also damaged.
