01:03 ET<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nA roadside bomb has hit a US consulate vehicle in the Pakistani city of Peshawar, causing minor wounds to some Americans, an embassy spokesman said.<\/p>\n
Two armoured vehicles were travelling on University Road when the blast occurred. One of the vehicles was damaged, he said.<\/p>\n
A passer-by, a Pakistani citizen, was killed in the attack, police said.<\/p>\n
Pakistan has seen a spurt in violence since al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was killed earlier this month.<\/p>\n
Al-Qaeda and its Pakistani Taliban allies have threatened to avenge the 2 May killing by US commandos.<\/p>\n
Last Friday, a twin suicide bombing killed more than 80 people, most of them paramilitary recruits, in north-west Pakistan.<\/p>\n
“There was an attack on a two-car convoy from the consulate in Peshawar. One car was hit,” news agency Reuters quoted US embassy spokesman Alberto Rodriguez as saying.<\/p>\n
Some of the Americans in the vehicle were slightly wounded and one of the automobiles was damaged during the attack, he said.<\/p>\n
Reports said the car rammed into a pole and its bonnet was damaged.<\/p>\n
The US consulate in Peshawar has been targeted in the past.<\/p>\n
In August 2008, one of the diplomats at the consulate survived an attack on her armoured vehicle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
