A teenage female bomber blew herself up at a police checkpoint in Northwest Pakistan City of Peshawar,Thursday.
The back-to back explosions killed seven people in addition to the suspect.
According to Police official Shafqant Malak the suspect first tossed a grenade at a police checkpoint then detonated her vest.
police said the causalities in the second blast were low because the attackers' suicide vest may have malfunctioned,setting only a portion of her explosives.
Investigators say early indications are the suicide bomber was trying to get to the scene of the initial blast but was stopped at the checkpoint.
During the past few years, northwest Pakistan has been repeatedly hit by bombings but suicide attacks carried out by women are rare.
