A rush-hour car bombing in the Charsadda district killed three and left 33 others wounded; another six died and three more were injured in an attack on a police patrol in Peshawar. The attacks come a week after the Taliban ended a 40-day ceasefire with Pakistan’s government. Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif earlier promised to negotiate an end to hostilities with the Taliban. However, peace talks that began in February have yielded few results. \[[Reuters](http://uk.reuters.com/article/2014/04/22/uk-pakistan-attacks-idUKBREA3L0AQ20140422 "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/71652/pakistan-attacks-kill-9/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/71652/pakistan-attacks-kill-9/"},"headline":"Gun, Bomb Attacks in Northwest Pakistan Kill 9","datePublished":"2014-04-22T13:28:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T07:25:36.637Z","description":"Dozens more were injured in two attacks a week after the Taliban ended a ceasefire with Pakistan's government","url":"https://time.com/71652/pakistan-attacks-kill-9/","keywords":["Pakistan","Taliban","bombings"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Maddy Fry","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/maddy-fry/"}],"articleSection":"World","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/pakistan/","name":"Pakistan"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/71652/pakistan-attacks-kill-9/","name":"Gun, Bomb Attacks in Northwest Pakistan Kill 9"}}]}] ```
