Two bombings have killed 10 people and wounded at least 14 in Pakistan, including an attack at a police complex in the capital, Islamabad.
Attackers reportedly drove vehicle into building
The attacks came on the same day that politicians met for a private briefing on the militant threat facing the country.
The second blast was in the nation's volatile northwest, where al Qaeda and Taliban militants have established bases near the Afghan border.
Four children, two police officers and four prisoners died when a roadside bomb exploded under a prison vehicle in the Dir region, government official Sher Bahadur Khan said.
Initial reports said that a school bus was caught in the blast, but others said the children were walking. Ten people were wounded.
Meanwhile, in Islamabad, an apparent suicide car bombing severely damaged an anti-terror squad building and wounded at least four police in the heavily guarded Police Lines area.
The explosion occurred just moments after a man delivered sweets to the facility, and police were examining whether the events were linked.
Some body parts were found that might belong to a suicide bomber, Islamabad Police Chief Asghar Gardaizi said.
