Fatal blast near Peshawar court

A bomb blast outside the main gate of a court building in the north-western Pakistani city of Peshawar has killed at least five people.

The court is located on the busy Khyber Road and the area is generally crowded during the morning.

Last week a car bomb targeted Pakistani intelligence offices on the same road, just a couple of kilometres westwards.

The building is also close to the Pearl Continental Hotel, which was targeted by a truck bomb earlier this year.

More than 100 people were killed in a blast at a market in Peshawar last month.
