ISLAMABAD (AP) — A suicide bomber blew up at a busy bus terminal near the Pakistani capital Monday, killing at least nine people and wounding 18 more, officials said. The blast came as Pakistan’s leaders sought to end a political crisis that has raised doubts about their focus on fighting Islamist militants blamed for a string of similar bombings in Pakistan and neighboring Afghanistan. TV images from the city of Rawalpindi showed rescue workers helping the wounded to ambulances while gloved investigators picked debris from a darkened street.——Contact The Daily Reveille’s news staff at [email protected]
