ISLAMABAD, May 11 (Xinhua) -- Taliban have claimed responsibility for a suicide attack that occurred in northwestern Pakistan on Monday, local TV channel DAWN NEWS reported.

The Tehreek-e-Taliban in Darra Adam Khel claimed the responsibility, said the report.

Six persons including a security man were killed in a suicide attack in Darra Adam Khel when a suicide bomber blew up his explosive-packed car near the gate of a security forces check post.

Two other security men were also injured when the bomber rammed his vehicle into a car of security men.

The security forces have been engaged in operations against militants in some parts of North West Frontier Province. Pakistani Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani vowed on Monday to force the militants to lay down their arms.
