At least three people have died in an attack on the US consulate in the Pakistani city Peshawar. A witness said he saw attackers armed with rocket-propelled grenades approach the consulate. They first opened fire at security personnel at the post near the consulate, and then blasts went off. A Pakistani intelligence official said no one was wounded inside the US complex, but three of its guards had been killed. Hours earlier, a suspected suicide bomber blew himself up at a political meeting in the Lower Dir district, about fifty miles northeast of Peshawar, killing thirty-eight people.
