| [DAWN] The Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. Central Jail and his brother were rubbed out by person or persons unknown on Thursday in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... 's Charsadda district, on a day when the first day of Eidul Azha is being celebrated in some districts of the province. Police officials in Charsadda said DSP Zahir Shah was shot while he was exchanging Eid greetings at his hujra or guesthouse in Charsadda's Mandai area. Local residents said that four gunnies arrived on cycle of violences and two went inside the premises posing as visitors to exchange Eid greetings with Shah, who was sitting in a compound adjacent to his house. The attackers opened fire on the DSP following which his brother, who was nearby, rushed to the scene with a gun. The two assailants who were waiting outside shot Zahir Shah's brother, the residents said. "Unknown gunnies rubbed out Zahir Shah and his brother and fled on cycle of violences," local cop shoppe chief Hassan Khan told AFP. District police chief Shafi Ullah confirmed the incident. Nobody immediately grabbed credit but Talibs have targeted police, politicians and government officials in the past. A contingent of police reached the site soon after the incident and cordoned off the area. A search operation was subsequently initiated as a probe into the incident went underway. Last night, three suspected bad boyz were potted in an ambush with police in Charsadda's Akhunzada area. Police also recovered weapons and hand grenades from the terrorists. |
