**At least three people have been killed and five hurt in a blast in the north-western Pakistani city of Peshawar.**Police say a bomb went off near a police post, in what they believe was a suicide attack.
It comes a day after at least 12 people were killed in a suicide bomb attack near the city.
Islamist militants have unleashed a campaign of attacks in Pakistan in recent weeks in retaliation for an army offensive in South Waziristan.
Police said Monday’s blast happened on the city’s ring-road.
Reports say the bomber got out of a rickshaw and detonated his explosives at the police checkpoint.
Television footage later showed ambulances rushing to the scene of the blast to take the injured to hospital.
No group has so far claimed responsibility for the attack.
Last month a massive blast at Peshawar’s Peepal Mandi market killed 118 people.
The government blamed the attack on Pakistani Taliban, but the head of the militant group denied being behind it.
