PESHAWAR/ PAKISTAN: Four people were killed and 30 injured when a car bomb ripped through a police station in northwest Pakistan on Friday, ending a month-long lull in attacks, officials said.

The powerful blast in the city of Mardan destroyed most of the police station, wrecked a hotel and several shops, said local police officer Mohammad Akhtar Khan.

Several people were still trapped in the rubble of the hotel, Khan said. A security official said 30 people were wounded in the explosion.
