Suicide bombing kills 3 at Pakistan paramilitary headquarters
—————————–
Three suicide bombers attacked the headquarters of a Pakistani paramilitary force on Monday, killing three personnel and wounding at least five, Arab News reported.

The attackers opened fire as they forced themselves into the headquarters of the frontier constabulary in Peshawar city before blowing themselves up inside the complex, police said.

The headquarters of the force is located in a densely populated area of Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

The five wounded people, including two paramilitary personnel, were taken to Lady Reading Hospital, its spokesperson Mohammad Asim said.

No militant group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far.

Islamist militants operating in the region have ramped up attacks in recent weeks after last month’s deadly border clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Pakistan blames the Afghan Taliban for harboring the militants who it says launch cross-border attacks, a charge Kabul denies.
