The attacker hit an army vehicle in an area which is used for residential purposes, a military spokesman said. The bomber walked up to a gate near the residences of junior officers, and engaged the guard in a conversation.

Later, on Saturday 06/27/2009 morning, Pakistani police killed five suspected anti-government fighters linked to a Tehrik-e-Taleban leader Baitullah Mehsud in the city of Karachi.
