PESHAWAR, Pakistan — A roadside bomb hit a convoy of foreign diplomats visiting northwest Pakistan on Sunday, killing a police officer in their security detail, police said. Zahidullah Khan, a police officer from the Swat district, told NBC News that the diplomats were on their way toward a tourist resort “when a police van escorting their convoy was hit by an improvised explosive device.
Police made security arrangements for the foreign ambassadors and they were immediately rescued and moved towards Pakistan's capital Islamabad, Khan said. Offering sympathies to the families of those who died, Pakistan’s foreign ministry said in a statement that “all members of the diplomatic corps have returned safely to Islamabad.” Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari also condemned the attack.
