Police and soldiers sealed off the area
Police in Pakistan say a woman suicide bomber in a burka has blown herself up near an army checkpoint in Peshawar.
Islamist radicals have carried out a wave of suicide attacks in Pakistan in recent months, but this is thought to be the first by a woman since 9/11.
The attack happened in a neighbourhood which is home to senior retired and serving army officers.
Police say the bomber - thought to be an Afghan woman in her 40s - was the only casualty.
