A bomb has hit Pakistan's intelligence agency in the north-western city of Peshawar, killing1 at least seven people and injuring 35, officials said.

巴基斯坦西北部城市白沙瓦的情报局遭炮弹袭击，造成至少7人死亡、35人受伤。

The blast destroyed much of the three-story building belonging to the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency and many cars on the street outside.

The area has been frequently targeted by militants2 in recent weeks.

Separately, at least 10 people were hurt in a bombing at a police station in the town of Bannu, police said.

Attacks in Pakistan have increased as the army continues its offensive against the Taliban in South Waziristan region.

More than 100 people were killed in a blast at a market in Peshawar more than two weeks ago.

Deadly day

The Peshawar blast occurred at around 0630 (0130 GMT), Pakistani media said.

Reuters news agency said the attack was carried out by a suicide car-bomber.

Many of the wounded were rushed to local hospitals, while security sources said several more could be trapped under the rubble（粗石，破碎的砖）.

Sahib Zada Anis, the head of Peshawar's local government, said most of the victims were civilians3.

Pakistani Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani condemned4 the attack, saying his country's resolve to deal with militancy5 would not be weakened.

The city has been on high alert for weeks. Schools were closed after the attack.

The last time an ISI building was targeted was in May, when 24 people were killed in a suicide attack in the eastern city of Lahore.

The blast at the Bakakhel police station in Bannu - also in Pakistan's North-West Frontier province - wounded at least 10 people, a local police official told Pakistani media.

Bannu is close to the tribal6（部落的，种族的） region of North Waziristan, a Taliban stronghold.

The latest attacks come one day after 17 Pakistani soldiers were killed in fighting in South Waziristan, in the military's deadliest day since launching a major offensive there in mid7 October, security officials said.

Analysts8 have said that ordinary citizens are increasingly being targeted because the militants are cornered and under great pressure from the military.

Despite the mounting death toll9（死亡人数）, Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said on Wednesday that the government was "fully10 committed" to completing the Waziristan offensive and "eliminating terrorism completely".
