MINGORA, Pakistan, Aug 23 (Reuters) - A suicide bomber rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into a police station in northwestern Pakistan's Swat Valley on Saturday, killing at least eight policemen, police said.

A spokesman for Taliban militants in the valley claimed responsibility for the blast and vowed to continue strikes if the government did not stop operations in the region. (Reporting by Junaid Khan, Writing by Kamran Haider; Editing by Robert Birsel and Sanjeev Miglani)
