At least 14 people were killed and 25 wounded in a suicide car bomb attack in western Pakistan Saturday, local officials reportedly said.
The attack, at a market in Darra Adam Khel in the Khyber region, appeared to be aimed at pro-government militia formed to fight the Taliban, Reuters reported. It said 15 shops and eight vehicles were destroyed by the blast.
BBC News reported that local medical centers could not cope with the number of casualties so some of the wounded were taken to other towns in the area.
