Bomb Targets U.S. Employees

Summary


PESHAWAR, Pakistan - A Taliban car bomb struck an armored vehicle taking American government employees to the U.S. consulate in northwest Pakistan on Friday in a strike the militants said was to avenge the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.

A Pakistani passerby was killed, and two Americans suffered minor injuries in the attack in the city of Peshawar, officials said. At least 10 other Pakistanis were wounded. The strike was the first on Westerners since the May 2 U.S. commando raid on bin Laden's hideout in an army town about three hours from Peshawar.
