Two suicide bombers on Friday escaped from University of Peshawar (UoP) following the police's failure to capture them. UoP Campus DSP Gulfat Hussain said police signaled a suspicious car to stop near Post Mall. The driver acted accordingly but drove away the car after a man sitting by him showed police a suicide vest. He said police tried to catch them and on failure, opened fire on the car. The DSP said two bombers in their early twenties were sitting inside the car with one sporting a beard and the other a clean-shaven man. He said police thoroughly searched the campus but found no bomber. The DSP said the administration closed the university and put security guards on alert. A student of Mathematics Department said at around 12:00pm, teachers locked classrooms and informed students about suicide the bombers' presence on the campus. He said main gate leading to the department was also closed and the staff and students were asked to leave the building. He said panic spread among students, who left the campus. He said those living in hostels confined themselves in their rooms. A teacher said they were asked twice first by the university provost and secondly by the registrar to close the departments. Afterwards, there were few cars on the roads and a small number of students turned up at mosques for Friday prayers. A tractor was also parked across the main gate of the University of Engineering and Technology (UET), which is situated within the UoP campus. NWFP Agricultural University, the UET, the UoP, Islamia College University (ICU), Khyber Medical College and several other institutions are situated on the same campus. Meanwhile, suspected militants blew up a 500KV pylon of Terbela-Shaikh Mohammadi transmission line in Chamkani area early on Friday. The blast suspended electric supply to the Rehman Baba, Pabbi, City and Mattani grids.
