A car bomb has exploded in a parking lot just outside Peshawar International Airport in Pakistan. One person is dead and at least two are injured. Peshawar is the capital of Pakistan’s North-West Frontier Province and borders Afghanistan. The area has been hit by several bombings in the past few months.

From GulfNews:

Malik Saad, head of police in Peshawar, said it was an “act of terrorism”. He said the explosion was being investigated but there were no clues yet as to the persons behind the attack.

Pakistan remains on the US State Department’s list of Current Travel Warnings. Americans are requested to avoid traveling there.

The presence of Al-Qaida, Taliban elements, and indigenous sectarian groups poses a potential danger to American citizens, especially along the porous border with Afghanistan. Continuing tensions in the Middle East also increase the possibility of violence against Westerners in Pakistan.
