Islamabad: A suicide bomber struck a bus carrying schoolchildren on Monday morning at a military base in northwestern Pakistan, wounding at least five of the children, an army spokesman said.
The attack happened at the army's base at Kamra, and the wounded children were being transported to a hospital, Maj Gen. Arshad Waheed said.
''This barbaric attack shows how cruel the terrorists are,'' he said, adding that the bus driver and a guard also were injured.
Pakistan, a key ally of the United States in its war on terror, has witnessed scores of terrorist attacks that have claimed hundreds of lives in the past several years.
