ISLAMABAD: A suicide bomber today struck a check post near a strategic air force complex in Pakistan's Punjab province, killing at least seven persons and injuring a dozen others in the latest in a series of deadly terror attacks targetting the security forces. ( Watch Video ) The bomber walked up to the first check post outside the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex within the cantonment in Kamra in Punjab and detonated his explosives when security guards stopped him, police officials were quoted as saying by TV news channels. A witness said he had seen several bicycles lying on the road at the site of the blast though nearby structures did not appear to be damaged. Security forces cordoned off the area soon after the blast this morning. No other details were immediately available. No group claimed responsibility for the attack though finger of suspicion pointed at the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, which has carried out a wave of audacious attacks and suicide bombings over the past two weeks in reprisals for ongoing military offensive in South Waziristan. Most of these attacks have targeted the security forces. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/pakistan/Suicide-attack-near-nuke-linked-complex-in-Pakistan-7-killed/articleshow/5151559.cms
