Islamabad: A suspected suicide bomber on a motorcycle blew himself up next to a bus in the Pakistani city of Rawalpindi on Thursday killing up to six people, police said.

“About 25 people were on board and as the bus reached a square, a motorcyclist hit its fuel tank," city police chief Nasir Durrani told reporters.

“According to our reports, five to six people were martyred and 16 wounded."

Pakistan has been hit by a wave of bombings in recent weeks in response to a military offensive against Taliban militants in the northwest of the country.

The bus was carrying factory workers home, an intelligence agency official said.
