Explosion shakes Pakistani city
At least six people have died in a bomb last in the north-western Pakistani city of Peshawar, police officials say.
The explosion is reported to have taken place in the Swati Pathak area of the city, which is close to the Pakistani army garrison.
Security has been tightened across Pakistan after a series of attacks in Lahore and the north-west on Thursday .
About 40 people died in those attacks, the latest in a recent wave of brazen militant assaults across the country.
The bomb exploded near a police investigation bureau close to the army garrison, police official Asghar Hussain told AFP news agency.
Peshawar was targeted last Friday when a deadly bomb ripped through a busy market in the city.
