The incident occurred in the Khyber district when security officials spotted a suspicious plastic bag near a security checkpoint.
Khyber is one of the seven semi-auto**mous tribal areas where the army has for more than a decade been battling militants linked to the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.
"As the security officials were inspecting the plastic bag, the bomb concealed in it went off, killing a solider, two paramilitary troops and a civilian," a local administration official told AFP, requesting a**nymity.
The incident was confirmed by other local security officials.
There was ** immediate claim of responsibility.
Violence across Pakistan has declined in recent years following a ****** of military offensives against insurgents but the remnants of militant groups are still able to carry out periodic bloody attacks, particularly in the **rthwest.
The army launched an operation in June 2014 in neighbouring **rth Waziristan to wipe out militant bases in the tribal areas and end an insurgency that has cost thousands of civilian lives since 2004.
