Peshawar police Chief Safwat Ghayur says the suicide bomber also died in Sunday's attack.

Ghayur says the bombing appears to be the result of a fight between two militant groups. Zakir Ullah, a police official at the scene, says two men exchanged gunfire in the street shortly before the bomber detonated his explosives.

Television footage showed several wounded people, including at least two children, being treated at a local hospital.
