PESHAWAR, Pakistan, April 16 (Reuters) - At least nine people were killed and more than 50 wounded on Tuesday when a suicide bomber attacked a pre-election rally held by a political party opposed to Pakistan's Taliban movement, police said.
The blast struck a gathering called by senior politicians of the Awami National Party (ANP) in the northwestern city of Peshawar. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the Pakistani Taliban has threatened to attack the ANP ahead of May 11 general elections.
