   the outskirts of Peshawar January 31, 2011.

   Authorities  say  a suicide bomber in northwestern Pakistan has killed
   three people, including a police official.
   Officials say the bomber attacked a vehicle Monday on the outskirts of
   Peshawar,  killing  Rasheed Khan, the deputy superintendent of police,
   his  driver and one other person.  Several people were wounded in the
   blast.
   The  French  news agency says the bomber was carrying 6 to 7 kilograms
   of explosives.
   There has been no claim of responsibility.
   Peshawar,  located  near  Pakistan's  tribal area, has been repeatedly
   attacked by the Taliban.
