Four killed, 103 hurt in Nowshera mosque blast
At least four people, including two soldiers, were killed and 103 injured when a suicide bomber rammed his explosive-laden vehicle into a mosque on Friday. An official of Nowshera Police said the attack occurred at a small mosque on Supply Depot Morr around 2:40pm. The mosque's roof collapsed due to the intensity of the blast, which also damaged nearby houses and cars parked in the area. Nowshera District Police Officer Abdullah Khan told AFP the vehicle used in the attack had been made to look like an ambulance. Police said the injured had been rushed to hospitals in Nowshera and Peshawar, and the area had been cordoned off following the blast. A Bomb Disposal Squad official said over 108 kilogrammes of explosives and 40 mortar shells were used in the blast.
