Asian Defense News: PESHAWAR, Pakistan – Police say two explosions in a northwest Pakistani city have wounded several police officers.Police official Saleem Khan says the blasts went off minutes apart Thursday near a police facility in Bannu, a town near Pakistan's tribal belt.
The exact nature of the explosions was unclear, and no militant group immediately claimed responsibility.
However, the explosions follow a suicide bombing that killed 17 people _ most of them police _ in the Khyber tribal region on Wednesday.
Pakistan has waged an army offensive against Taliban fighters in the tribal areas, while the U.S. has pursued the militants with missile strikes.
