| One person was killed and two wounded in Sultan Khel in Khyber Agency on Saturday when a bomb exploded near a fuel tanker destined for NATO forces in Afghanistan. Said Alam was killed while Akhtar Alam and Muhammad Rehman were injured in the remote-controlled explosion. The bomb was planted near the oil tanker, which was only partially damaged, Naib Tehsildar Naik Muhammad told reporters. However, many local people and drivers said the bomb had been attached to the left side of the engine and was not planted on the road. But official sources described it as a roadside bomb. Traffic remained suspended on the road for the fear that there might be another bomb planted on the road. The Khasadar personnel cordoned off the area after the explosion. |
