ARTICLE SNIPPET: “At least six people have died in a blast which hit a military bus in the Pakistani garrison city of Rawalpindi.

A military spokesman told the BBC that a suicide bomber riding a motorbike had rammed into the bus.

Over 20 people are reported to have been injured in the attack, which took place during the morning rush hour.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “’Gigantic blast’

Several vehicles were reported to have been badly damaged and the bus destroyed in Monday’s blast, which went off near the army headquarters.

Officials said the military had cordoned off the area.

The blast took place early on Monday in a crowded market area.

One witness, Haji Shaukat Khan, told the AFP news agency that he heard a “gigantic explosion”.”
