ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- A suicide bomber killed 10 people on Sunday after attacking a bakery on a Pakistan army base near the northwestern city of Peshawar, according to police and the Pakistani military.
Nineteen others were wounded in the suicide attack in Mardan, in Pakistan's North West Frontier Province, according to a Pakistani military news release.
The bomber also died in the attack, which happened between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. local time (1500-1600 GMT, 1000-1100 ET), police said.
Four Pakistani security personnel were among those killed, and four others were among the injured, the military said.
The province is part of Pakistan's tribal regions along the border with Afghanistan.
The new government, led by the party of the late premier Benazir Bhutto, has been trying to negotiate peace deals with tribal leaders in the region.
The latest attack was the deadliest in more than two months and could complicate the government's efforts, The Associated Press reported.
The talks have already been hampered by a suspected U.S. missile strike that left several dead in a nearby tribal area, AP said.
