PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - A bomb exploded near a fuel station in the Jamrud area of Pakistan's northwestern Khyber tribal region on Tuesday, killing at least 15 people and wounding 25, regional government officials said.

"It was huge blast and caused damage to a number of vehicles at the bus terminal," said Khyber tribesman Khan Zaman from the Jamrud bazaar, around 25 km (15 miles) west of Peshawar.
