PESHAWAR, Pakistan – A suicide bomber detonated his explosives outside a press club in the northwestern city of Peshawar on Tuesday, killing three people and wounding 17 in an attack that comes at a time of growing violence and political turmoil in Pakistan.

Militants have perpetrated a string of attacks in the country's northwest in revenge for an army offensive in the lawless tribal area of South Waziristan, the Pakistani Taliban's main stronghold. But many militants are believed to have fled to North Waziristan since the campaign began in mid-October.
