A bomb has hit a school bus in the Pakistani city of Peshawar, killing a passer-by and wounding four people, including two pupils who were travelling on board.
City officials said the bomb had been hidden in a dust-bin on the roadside, and exploded when the bus stopped.
"When I saw the smoke, I ran towards my teachers at the back [of the bus]," one of the wounded children told Reuters news agency following Monday's attack.
"The teachers said 'come, come'. So we got off the bus," said six-year-old Eman, speaking from a hospital where she was lying on a bed with her head bandaged.
The driver of the bus was also wounded in the attack. He described a "sudden explosion" shortly after some of the teachers had stepped off the bus. "After that I did not have my senses. I fell," he said.
