The bomber was the eighth death; seven other people were wounded, authorities said.

The bomber approached the post on foot about 7:45 p.m. (10:45 a.m.), Islamabad police spokesman Bin Yamin said.

Initial reports that the explosion occurred at a nearby market were wrong, Yamin said. The post is used to check vehicles.
