| [DAWN] An kaboom at Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), 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. 's Mina Bazar on Wednesday, has left at least four people injured including a child, said police officials. The bomb disposal squad AIG Shafqat Malik said that three hundred grams of explosives was used in a timer device. The station house officer of Kotwali cop shoppe Ihsan Marwat said the bomb was planted to target a cold drinks shop. He said the same shop had been targeted in 2013 and appears to be the result of a personal enmity, although they are probing the incident. Mina Bazar has been the target of a number of kabooms, the most deadliest of which was on 28 October 2009, in which a boom-mobile left 137 people dead and over 200 others injured. |
