A bomb blast has hit a school bus in the north-western Pakistani city of Peshawar, killing the driver and injuring a number of children.

The roadside bomb, of the type used against Nato troops in Afghanistan, was planted in a bin.

The device went off in the busy Bhana Marri area on the Kohut road, the scene of many blasts.

Last week a suicide bomb claimed by the Taliban killed more than 40 people in north-west Pakistan.
