Bomb attacks kill 2 in Pakistan

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) -- Police say a pair of bomb attacks in northwest Pakistan have killed two officers and wounded 10 others.

Police officer Ghulam Hussain said one colleague died in roadside blast Thursday in Bannu district.

Officer Rafique Khan says the other victim fell to a nearby bombing not far from the main northwestern city of Peshawar.

Islamist militants with bases in the northwest have carried out scores of attacks on police and army targets over the last three years. They are seeking to overthrow the U.S.-allied, democratically elected government and replace it with a pro-Taliban Islamic emirate.
