The Pakistan Taliban took responsibility for the attack.
"Three suicide bombers blew themselves up, while one was shot by police before he could blow himself up," an intelligence source said.
A spokesman for the militant group said the bombing was revenge for the killing of the nephew of former leader Baitullah Mehsud last month. Baitullah died in a U.S. drone strike in 2009. (Reuters)
