Islamabad, Oct 25 (PTI) A suicide car bomber today blew himself up killing a police officer on a key motorway linking several cities and towns in Pakistan when he was intercepted by a security patrol, the latest in a string of terror attacks that have rocked the country.

Acting on an intelligence report that a suicide car bomber had left Peshawar in the northwest to strike a target in the eastern city of Lahore, police stopped a vehicle at Lillah, 140 kms from Islamabad, early this morning.

The man who was driving the car got out and walked towards the police team.

When some policemen approached the car to search it, the second man inside it detonated the explosives, reports said.

A highway patrol inspector was killed in the blast.
