Another NGO's office bombed
2007-02-13
DARRA ADAM KHEL: A non-government organisation’s office in Darra Adam Khel’s main bazaar was badly damaged in a bomb blast late on Sunday night, said officials on Monday. The attack on NGO Darul Falah’s office comes five days after unidentified motorcyclists gunned down an Intelligence Bureau official on January 7 near the same area. Muhammad Faisal Afridi, chief executive of the NGO working against the spread of drugs and to rehabilitate drug addicts, said the blast took place at around 11:15pm on Sunday night. “I think those who back the spread of drugs are behind this,” Afridi told Daily Times. He said he had not been threatened previously, but some people suspected that “I am working for anti-drug organisations, and they say since Darra Adam Khel is a tribal area, the drug business should grow here”. Similar explosions last year forced owners to close down music and video shops in Darra Adam Khel. Over the last week, the offices of two international NGOs – Save the Children in Battagram and the International Committee of the Red Cross in Peshawar – have been attacked in NWFP.
