Eight killed, 20 injured in Khyber Agency blast | At least 10 persons were killed and 20 others injured in a powerful bomb blast that ripped through the Meharban-Kilay Bazaar of Tirah valley in the Federally Administered
Tribal Areas' (FATA) Khyber Agency on Friday. According to reports, the bomb was
planted near a shop which went off killing eight persons on the spot. Eyewitnesses
said that the intensity of the blast was so severe that it demolished a number
of houses and shops in the area. Security forces cordoned off the region soon
after the blast and launched a massive search operation to nab the attackers and
prevent any untoward incident. Both President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister
Yousaf Raza Gillani have condemned the blast, and directed the concerned authorities
to facilitate the victims of the blast with best medical treatment. |
