A bomber targeting security forces in Pakistan on Saturday killed at least 11 people, police said.
The assault near a security checkpost in Swat Valley, which also wounded 35 people, came a day after an attack on the military killed at least 45 people in the city of Lahore.
“The bomber was in a rickshaw," said Qazi Ghulam Farooq, Mingora city police chief.
The attack killed two soldiers, three policemen and five civilians, police said. "When I got there, I saw a burning vehicle. At least five people, including some women, who burned to death," a witness said.
Pakistani army launched late April in 2009 a massive offensive in Swat Valley, breaking the deal between Taliban and government over a Sharia administration.
Taliban says the offensive was launched by government to please U.S. who has pressured to break it.
The road leading to Mingora's main courthouse was blocked by concrete blocks, sand bags and barbed wire. The blast left two rickshaws twisted and a car burning. Windows in nearby buildings were shattered.
The blast in Mingora, Swat's main town, was the sixth this week, and will add to pressure on President Asif Ali Zardari during a critical period. The economy is sluggish and foreign investors have been scared away by violence.
The unpopular Zardari also faces calls to hand over his major powers -- such as the right to dissolve parliament and choose the army chief -- to Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani.
