ISLAMABAD (AP) — A Pakistani official says a car bomb has killed seven people in a major city in the country's east.
The blast went off Tuesday at a gas station in Faisalabad. Government official Naseem Sadiq says 10 people were also wounded.
Pakistani TV showed piles of bricks, and chunks of twisted metal from cars strewn across the wrecked station.
Al-Qaida and Taliban militants have carried out scores of suicide and other bombings in Pakistani cities, usually aiming at security forces.
But Faisalabad, a key hub for Pakistan's textile industry, has rarely been targeted.
