ISLAMABAD: More than 20 people were killed and several injured in an apparent car-bomb attack near Swat in the North-West Frontier Province on Sunday during voting in a by-election for the National Assembly. The attack targeted a school which was being used as a polling station in the by-election in Buner, near the militant-infested Swat valley. Police said there were indications that the attack could have been caused by a car-bomb, as parts of a vehicle were found at the site of blast. Police are also investigating if the vehicle was detonated by a possible occupant of the car who may have perished in the attack. Two policemen and children were among those killed in the blast, which destroyed the school building and damaged nearby houses and shops.
