MINGORA, Pakistan, Nov 6 (Reuters) - A suicide bomber detonated his explosive-laden car near the police headquarters in Pakistan's Swat Valley on Thursday causing some casualties, police said.

"It's a suicide attack. There are few casualties but we don't have details right now," Swat police chief Dilawar Bangash told Reuters.

Earlier in the day, at least 10 people were killed and 30 wounded in a suicide attack at a meeting of ethnic Pashtun tribal leaders in the nearby Bajaur tribal region.
