Suicide Bombers Target Police and Soldiers in Pakistan

LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) - There's been a second suicide bombing in Pakistan. The latest struck a police roadblock outside the eastern city of Lahore and appears to have been less deadly.

Officials say police officers were about to search a car that had pulled up to the checkpoint, when the attacker detonated his explosives. Seven officers were injured and two are said to be in critical condition.

The attack comes just hours after another suicide bomber, this one riding a motorbike, killed at least 35 people and wounded dozens outside a bank near Pakistan's capital.

An eyewitness says the explosion in Rawalpindi, a garrison city just a few miles from Islamabad, occurred as many people waited outside the National Bank on a pay day to collect salaries. Military personnel are among the dead.

Meanwhile, the U.N. says it's starting to pull out some foreign staffers and suspending its long-term development work along the Afghan border because of the spreading violence.

Islamist insurgents have struck repeatedly in Pakistan in the past month, killing more than 300 people in apparent retaliation for an army offensive in the northwest stronghold of South Waziristan.
