At least one person killed, 11 others injured in suicide attack in Nowshera, KPK
At least one person was killed and 11
others injured in a suicide attack on a security forces convoy on Thursday
in Nowshera’s Kachehri Chowk area, confirmed a senior police
official.
KP Minister Shaukat Yousafzai said
initial report confirmed that the bomber used around five kilograms of
explosives in the targeted attack. The FC vehicle was travelling from
Rawalpindi to Peshawar at the time of the attack. The minister said six injured personnel were moved to Combined Military
Hospital where four of the personnel are in critical condition. He was speaking
to local media.
The wounded have been taken to District
Headquarters Hospital Nowshera and Combined Military Hospital for treatment.
On May 11, a bomb blast ripped through a bus terminal
in Kohat, killing one policeman and wounding 13. The bomb device, apparently
rigged to a motorcycle, exploded when a police patrol passed by the bus
terminal in Kohat.
Pakistan has launched several military
operations there, disrupting the militants’ infrastructure and networks and
substantially reducing violence, although the militants remain potent enough to
launch attacks.
