The Taliban is claiming responsibility for Monday’s attack on the U.S. consulate in Peshawar, Pakistan, that killed at least two people.<\/p>\n

A statement from the U.S. embassy in Islamabad says at least two Pakistani security guards were killed in the coordinated gun, grenade and suicide car bomb attack, and several others were seriously wounded.<\/p>\n

The embassy statement says the United States condemns the terrorist attack.<\/p>\n

Security officials say a car bomb exploded at a checkpoint outside the consulate, and militants then fired grenades and other weapons as they tried to enter the building. Police quickly closed off the area.<\/p>\n
