<p>Eighteen people were killed when an explosion ripped through a minibus travelling in a militant-infested area of north-western Pakistan, police said.</p>
<p>There were conflicting reports as to whether the blast was caused by a bomb or by the gas cylinder used to power the vehicle.</p>
<p>The bus was travelling between the cities of Hangu and Kohat, which are close to Pakistan&#8217;s lawless tribal region.</p>
<p>The explosion tore apart the vehicle, killing all 17 people on board, and tipped over a second bus nearby, said Hangu police chief Abdur Rasheed. </p>
<p>One person on the bus which overturned was killed and 11 others were injured, he said.</p>
<p>Mr Rasheed said the explosion happened when the gas cylinder on board malfunctioned, but the top police official in the region said explosives were used to trigger the blast.</p>
<p>Islamist militants frequently carry out attacks in the area against both civilians and security forces.</p>
<p>Local television footage showed the twisted carcass of the first bus lying beside the road with little left except its wheels and undercarriage. </p>
<p>The second bus was on its side with its windows blown out and blood splattered across the outside.</p>
