Assailants fired four rockets into a city in northwestern Pakistan before dawn today, killing at least 10 people and wounding 35, police said.
The rockets hit two houses, a mosque and a shop in Bannu, a troubled city in North-West Frontier Province, said Khwaja Mohammed, a city police official. Mohammed said five police officers were among the wounded.
Mohammed described the attack as “terrorist activity” but said it was too early to say more about who was behind it.
