Bomb attack injures five people in Peshawar
2010-03-29
[Dawn] A bomb attack Sunday wounded five people and destroyed a music shop in northwestern Pakistan, police said.

A bomb planted near the shop exploded in a bazaar in the neighbourhood of Hayatabad in Peshawar, the troubled capital of Northwest Frontier Province which has seen several attacks blamed on Pakistani Taliban.

"The bomb was planted near the CD shop, at least five people were injured," Sher Akbar, a senior police official told AFP.

The shop was destroyed while two nearby grocery shops were slightly damaged, he added.

The injured have been shifted to Hayatabad hospital for medical treatment.

According to officials, between 1 and 1.5kg of explosives were used in the blast.

There was no claim of responsibility, but local police officials blamed the incident on 'miscreants', a term often used for Taliban militants.
