| Nine injured in imambargah bomb blast |
| 2008-11-25 |
| At least nine worshippers including a woman were injured when a bomb went off in an imambargah in Peshawar's Hussainia Street on Monday. The bomb was planted on the first floor of the two-storey building, where the caretaker of the imambargah lived. Superintendent of Police Chaudry Ashraf told Daily Times it was low-intensity device weighing three to four kilogrammes and had been placed in a water-cooler in a washroom. The injured were taken to the Lady Reading Hospital. Doctors said that the victims were in a stable condition. Seven of them had been discharged after first aid and two, including the caretaker Syed Kamal Shah, had been admitted. Police cordoned off the site after the explosion. Relief work was hampered because the alley was crowded. Windows of nearby houses had been reported damaged. Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and Interior Adviser Rehman Malik condemned the bombing and ordered a probe. |
