Peshawar, Pakistan (CNN) -- A blast near the U.S. Consulate in Peshawar, Pakistan, killed six people and wounded at least 11 more Friday, hospital spokesman Jamil Shah said.
A suicide bomber rode a motorbike up to a security checkpoint a third of a mile from the consulate and detonated 22 pounds of explosives attached to his body, police spokesman Mohammad Faisal said.
Violent attacks occur frequently in and around Peshawar, which is located near in Pakistan's northwest, near the border with Afghanistan and adjacent to Pakistan's tribal region.
Among the dead were four men and two women.
Injured were still arriving at the hospital and include paramilitary troops posted at the checkpoint, Shah said.
A week ago, a car bomb exploded at a nearby camp for internally displaced people, killing 12 people and injuring 32 others. The Jalozai camp houses hundreds of thousands of people who have left the country's tribal region.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, of which Peshawar is the capital, is rife with Islamic extremists, including the Pakistani Taliban, and has been the site of recent clashes between Pakistani security forces and militants.
