[DAWN] MANSEHRA: A gunman killed a holy man and his driver and injured three people here on Friday night.
Deputy superintendent of police Zulfiqar Khan Jadoon told news hounds that Maulana Zubairullah of Swabi was on the way to a mosque near Sheikhabad Afghan refugee camp to lead taraweeh prayers when the attack occurred.
He said the gunman appeared before his (Zubairullah's) vehicle and fired gunshots at him and his driver, Mohammad Javed, killing them instantly.
The DSP said the attacker also injured three people by a hand grenade after they tried to catch him, and fled.
He said the injured were under treatment at the King Abdullah Teaching Hospital.
Jadoon said the holy man had come to the town last month and stayed with Maulana Faizul Bari, the prayer leader of Sunari Masjid in Chitti Dehri area.
"We have started investigation to know the exact cause of killings and trace the killer, who, we suspect, is hiding in the area," he said. The DSP said the bodies were sent to the respective towns for burial.
