...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 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.
on Thursday.

Family sources said that Qari Said Alam along with his two other companions was coming from their house near Regi Lalma to Karkhano Market when their car was attacked by unidentified button men riding on a cycle of violence near Nasir Bagh cop shoppe.

He was killed on the spot as he was hit in the head and face, while his lover companion Fahad was injured in the attack.

Alam’s body was later shifted from Peshawar hospital to Landi Kotal.

His third companion Tayyab escaped unhurt.

Said Alam was affiliated with al-Haj Karawan, a non-political organization of former MNA from Khyber Haji Shahji Gul who is contesting the July 25 elections as an independent candidate.

He was considered a close aide of Shahji Gul and was running his election campaign. During his recent speeches, he had hinted about the threats he was receiving. He was a theology teacher in a government school.

Said Alam remained closely affiliated with another former MNA and now a candidate of Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf
