Tariq Khan, a local administrator in Salarzai town of the Bajur tribal area, says Sunday's bombing also wounded two militiamen and a bystander.

Khan says the attackers detonated the bomb at the town market by remote control.

The Pakistani military has claimed before to have cleared Bajur of insurgents but occasional violence continues.
