A mob has gone off in a bakery in Pakistan, killing 10 people and injuring others. The explosion occured in the Pakistani province of North West Frontier Province, which is part of Pakistan's tribal regions along the border with Afghanistan. The new government has been trying to negotiate a peace deal with rebel leaders in this region but to no avail. This new violence will likely complicate those talks.

A suicide bomber killed 10 people on Sunday after attacking a bakery on a Pakistan army base near the northwestern city of Peshawar, according to police and the Pakistani military.

Rescuers carry a victim of Mardan's suicide bombing to treatment at a hospital in Peshawar, Pakistan, on Sunday.
