At least 15 killed in suicide blast in Pakistan

The blast went off in a crowded street when a suicide bomber in a rickshaw detonated an explosive device after approaching a group of policemen, local television reported.

No group has yet to claim responsibility for the attack, which comes just a few days before the country's presidential election, to be held on October 6.

Opposition parties have threatened to boycott the vote if the current president, Pervez Musharraf, runs for re-election. - RIA Novosti
