A bomb killed four people and injured 11 in Pakistan’s North-West Frontier province, police said. The bomb exploded at a bus station at Charsadda town, about 20 miles northeast of the provincial capital of Peshawar. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. The province is home to most of an estimated 3 million Afghan refugees in Pakistan and to the main guerrilla groups fighting the Kabul government. Pakistan has blamed a series of recent bombings on the Soviet-backed regime in neighboring Afghanistan.
