Suicide attack in northwest Pakistan kills 5
ISLAMABAD (AP) — Officials say at least five people have been killed in a suicide car bombing in northwest Pakistan.
Army spokesman Maj. Mushtaq Khan says the attacker detonated the car bomb near a security checkpoint in the Swat district.
Police official Mohammed Anfal says nearly two dozen people were also wounded in Saturday's attack.
The Pakistani military launched a major offensive in Swat early last year after peace deals with local Taliban collapsed.
The military took back the Swat Valley by mid-2009, but sporadic violence has continued.
