At least six people, including a tribal leader, were killed in a bomb blast in Pakistan's northwestern tribal region on Monday, a media report said.
Duniya news said the tribal leader, Muhammad Jaan, was going to a neighbouring village when a remote-controlled blast blew up his vehicle in Kamarsar area of district Mamoond in Bajaur Agency, a tribal area bordering Afghanistan.
Those killed included the leader besides his five friends who were in the vehicle which was destroyed in the explosion. Several passersby were also injured.
