巴基斯坦西北部地区官员说，星期二发生一起疑似自杀爆炸事件，造成至少12人死亡，多人受伤。据称大多数受害者是安全部队军人。
目击者说，自杀炸弹杀手驾驶摩托车冲撞了一个位于局势动荡的开伯尔半自治部落区和白沙瓦城之间的安全检查站。
救援人员和地方官员说，一名部落区高级警官和当地一名记者死于袭击。
猛烈的爆炸导致停在安全检查站附近的几辆汽车和摩托车受损。
目前还没有人宣称对此次事件负责。
开伯尔是巴基斯坦和内陆国阿富汗之间的两条贸易和交通要道之一。
巴基斯坦部落地区一直是涉嫌在边界两侧制作恐怖袭击事件的巴基斯坦和外国激进分子盘踞的地区。
Officials in northwestern Pakistan say a suspected suicide blast Tuesday killed at least 12 people and wounded many more. A majority of the victims are said to be security forces.
Witnesses say the bomber riding a motorbike struck a security checkpoint separating the semi-autonomous and volatile Khyber tribal district from the city of Peshawar.
Rescue workers and local officials say a senior officer of the tribal police force and a local journalist are among the dead.
The massive blast caused damage to several vehicles and motorbikes parked near the security post.
There are no immediate claims of responsibility.
Khyber serves as one of the two main routes for trade and transit between Pakistan and landlocked Afghanistan.
The Pakistani tribal area has been a hub of local and foreign militants involved in terrorist attacks on both sides of the border.
