The explosive vest worn by one of the suicide bombers detonated when police opened fire after coming under attack, Hayat said. The attack came hours after the Pakistani Taliban fatally shot two police officers and wounded two others in an overnight gun attack at a roadside checkpoint in the city of Peshawar. The army chief, Gen. Asim Munir, issued a stern warning last Friday after two militant attacks killed 12 Pakistani soldiers in the country’s southwestern Baluchistan province, which also borders Afghanistan.
