PESHAWAR, May 31 (Reuters) - An explosion near a roadside bazaar in the Mohmand tribal region of northwest Pakistan killed at least three people on Saturday, a witness said.

A local government official said the blast occurred as a car approached from the direction of Bajaur, a neighbouring tribal area where a suspected U.S. drone aircraft attack killed 18 people including foreign militants earlier this month.

Both Bajaur and Mohmand border Afghanistan. (Reporting by Shams Mohmand; writing by Aftab Borka; editing by Andrew Dobbie )
