Hangu District Nazim Ghani-ur-Rehman and close friend of Interior Minister Aftab Sherpao Khan survived unhurt after a bomb explosion damaged his vehicle on Wednesday, security sources said. “It was a remote-controlled device and I was the prime target. But I am totally unhurt,” Rehman told reporters. Rehman was on his way home from his office in the afternoon when the attack occurred on Thall Road, police said, adding, “The bomb was planted near the roadside and caused slight damage to the vehicle”. The NWFP has been experiencing a wave of bomb blasts and suicide attacks in recent months. The provincial government blames “invisible hands,” a reference to intelligence agencies, for the worsening law and order situation.
