THE Pakistani Taliban has denied involvement in a bomb attack, which killed a police officer and wounded four others.

Foreign ambassadors and senior envoys were travelling by police convoy to the Swat Valley, a former stronghold of the Pakistani Taliban, when the attack occurred in the ski resort of Malam Jabba.

Mohammad Khurasani, a spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban, known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, denied detonating the improvised explosive device that hit a police vehicle accompanying the convoy.
