THREE suspected Pakistani militants have been blown to pieces by their explosives when they rode over a bump on a bicycle outside a town in the central province of Punjab.
"The head of one man has been blown off," Deputy Superintendent Bashir Ahmed said.
Another of the dead men had his legs blown off, while the third had his stomach ripped open and died later in hospital, police said.
Supt. Ahmed said at least two of the dead men were students at a nearby madrasa, suspected of having links to Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan, a banned Sunni Muslim sectarian group.
Pakistan is in the grip of a nationwide security scare having suffered a series of suicide bomb attacks in recent weeks, and police have also arrested several would-be suicide bombers.
Suicide bombers have killed over 40 people since mid-January in cities around the country.
Factions of a Sunni Muslim sectarian group, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, with close links to al-Qaeda are suspected of being behind a number of the attacks.
Intelligence officials have also thrown suspicion on Pakistani Taliban militants as the spate of bomb attacks followed a military air strike on one of their bases in the restive Waziristan tribal region bordering Afghanistan.
Police were unsure what kind of attack the men on the bike were planning.
"We don't know whether they wanted to carry out a suicide attack or plant the explosives somewhere," Supt. Ahmed said, adding that initial investigations suggested the explosive was home-made.

You'd think they could at least find enough pieces to make one new bomber, but the bike was probably a total loss!
Gone with the Schwinn.
Anybody see this video? It's hilarious!
