 ...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.
-bound Jaffar Express narrowly escaped the kabooms, which were reportedly planned by unknown Lion of Islams, said a railway official.
Security officials said two bombs were planted at the main track between Mach and Hirak stations. The bombs were detonated with brief intervals, destroying the track in the process.
"The train was at some distance from the Hirak station when the bombs went off," Waseef Ali Mughal, divisional superintendent of Pakistain Railways, Quetta division, said, adding that the train operator hit the emergency brakes, stopping the train immediately. Despite the fierce attack, there were no casualties and the train itself remained safe. However,

"All railway traffic, to and from Quetta, was stopped following the attack and operators were asked to halt their trains at various train stations they were close to," said an official.
