| Several CD shops and offices were completely destroyed when three time devices planted by miscreants at three separate markets went off in the wee hours of Wednesday. Six other shops and the house of a Pakistan People's Party (PPP) leader were partially damaged while three more bombs recovered from the markets were defused. Sources said that about 10 masked men, equipped with pistols and hand grenades, came and made the watchman, Sher Muhammad, hostage before placing six bombs in a plaza and two markets at 4:20 a.m. Three offices, Tariq Internet Cafe and two other shops were completely destroyed when a bomb exploded in the plaza, owned by former PPP MPA Qurban Khan, on GT Road. The house of the PPP leader was also partially damaged in the blast. Similarly, two other bomb explosions in Fawad and Shaheen markets destroyed Dildar CD House, Hameed Electric Store, Bobi CD House and electronics shops owned by Abdul Wahab, Riaz, Hamid and Zeeshan. Six other shops were also damaged in the blast. However, no casualty was reported, as nobody was present in the market. Soon after the blasts, police rushed to the spot and collected evidence. |
