Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Police said a bomb has exploded at a bus stand in north west Pakistan, killing six people.
The explosion in the Matani area is the latest violence to hit Pakistan since the May 2 US raid that killed al Qaida chief Osama bin Laden.
It also follows reports that another top al Qaida militant, Ilyas Kashmiri, was killed in an American missile strike in Pakistan.
Police officer Abdul Ghaffar Khan has given the death toll and says at least 10 people also were wounded in the blast. Many of the dead were in a pick up truck at the scene.
Officials are not yet certain if the bomb was a planted device or if a suicide attacker was involved.
