PESHAWAR, Pakistan – A roadside bomb exploded near a pair of U.S. consulate vehicles carrying Americans in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar on Friday, killing a Pakistani passer-by and wounding several people including some of the passengers, officials said.

Footage from the scene showed that the car apparently hit was a large, sport utility vehicle. It appeared to have veered into a pole and the hood was damaged. Senior police official Shafi Ullah said the vehicle was bulletproof. Nearby buildings also were damaged during the blast.

The U.S. Consulate in Peshawar is widely believed to be a front for CIA operations, and its employees have been targeted in the past. In August 2008, Lynne Tracy, then the top U.S. diplomat at the consulate, survived a gun attack on her armored vehicle.

Peshawar lies just outside Pakistan's tribal regions, where al-Qaida and the Taliban have long had hideouts. The city itself has witnessed numerous suicide and other bombings in recent years, including many that have killed security forces and ordinary civilians.

I wonder if there is going to be outrage by the Pakistani people of the death of one of their own. Were there any protests when 80 Pakisani paramilitary soldiers got killed? Or could this be ISI attacking the U.S. personnel in revenge under the guise of terrorist attacks.
