A police official says a suicide bombing has killed five people in a Pakistani tribal region near the Afghan border.

Fazal Rabbi says the Saturday evening attack in the town of Salarzai targeted a convoy of Pakistani soldiers and elders from an anti-Taliban militia. The town is in the Bajur tribal area.

The police official says the dead included four members of the militia and a paramilitary soldier.

The attack took place several hours after the Pakistani army chief declared the "backbone" of the Islamist militants had been broken.
