Bombings targeting police killed 10 people and wounded 14 in Pakistan's volatile northwest and the capital - vivid reminders of the challenge facing the US-allied country as its lawmakers pursue a national consensus on battling terrorism. Later Thursday, two areas in Pakistan's militant-riddled northwest were hit by suspected US missiles, killing nine people, according to two Pakistani intelligence officials. One of the earlier attacks, an apparent suicide car bombing, occurred in a police complex in Islamabad. It wrecked an anti-terror squad building and wounded at least four police while lawmakers met elsewhere in the capital for a rare, private military briefing about domestic militancy. Meanwhile, a roadside bomb struck a prisoners' vehicle in the Dir region near Afghanistan and killed two police, four inmates and four children. Ten people were wounded, said Sher Bahadur Khan, a senior government official.
