   2010

   Police  in  northwestern  Pakistan say a suicide car bomber has killed
   four police officers and wounded at least eight other people.
   Local  authorities  say  the attacker blew up his explosives-laden car
   early  Wednesday  on  the outskirts of Peshawar, the capital of Khyber
   Pakhtoonkhaw province.
   The  blast  came  a  day  after  Pakistani  security  forces killed 11
   militants in clashes in nearby Orakzai tribal region.
   Pakistan's  military  launched an anti-Taliban offensive in Orakzai in
   March  to  target  militants  who are believed to have fled an earlier
   offensive in South Waziristan.
   In  other violence, gunmen killed a university professor in a drive-by
   shooting  in Quetta, the capital of southwestern Baluchistan province.
