2007-01-10 |
![]() JI chief Qazi Hussain Ahmed and other leaders were on the stage at the time. The blasts disrupted the public meeting and terrified the participants, who ran for cover, triggering a minor stampede. There were also reports of scuffles between the protestors and police. Police officials said heavy security was deployed at the public meeting, held to protest at a by-election in Bajaur that is due today. Qazi accused the government and intelligence agencies of planting the bombs. The JI leader set a three-day deadline for the government to arrest the men behind the blasts, otherwise the party would launch a countrywide agitation against the government. Online adds: An Interior Ministry statement said the blast took place at a telephone distribution point close to the rally at Nowshera, and that six of the 10 injured have been discharged from hospital. “Law and order being a provincial subject, the federal government has asked the NWFP government to investigate the incident,” it said. |
