PESHAWAR — A car bomb killed three people in northwestern Pakistan yesterday, despite calls from Taliban leaders asking Islamist militants to refrain from attacks during efforts by the new government to reach peace deals in the region.
A spokesman for Pakistani Taliban militants claimed responsibility for the blast but said it did not damage their commitment to peace negotiations opened by the government.
It was the first major bombing since Pakistan's new government took office and pledged to scale back military operations against militants. The last deadly blast was a suicide attack that killed five soldiers in the South Waziristan region on March 20.
