   Pakistani soldiers, police officers check a police building after it
   was attacked by a suicide bomber in an explosives-laden pickup truck in
   Peshawar, Pakistan, May 25, 2011

   A suicide bomber has rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into a building
   housing a police unit in northwestern Pakistan, killing at least four
   police officers.
   Police officials say the attack in the city of Peshawar on Wednesday
   left at least 28 people wounded. The blast destroyed the building.
   The Pakistani Taliban has claimed responsibility for the bombing. The
   militant group has carried out a string of attacks that it says are
   revenge for this month's killing of Osama Bin laden. The al-Qaida
   leader was killed by U.S. special forces during a raid in Pakistan.
   Prior to Wednesday's bombing, the Taliban had claimed responsibility
   for three other incidents, including a Monday attack on a Karachi naval
   base in which 10 security personnel members were killed.
