PESHAWAR, Pakistan — A suicide car bomber attacked a police checkpoint in northwestern Pakistan on Saturday, killing 11 people, including four children, the latest in a wave of militant attacks that have killed more than 300 people in the past month.
The attack on the outskirts of Peshawar solidifies the city’s status as a primary target for militants trying to force the military to end an offensive against their associates launched last month in the border region of South Waziristan. Later Saturday, a Taliban commander claimed responsibility for that attack and another targeting a police station the same day in neighboring Bannu district.
