team there. We don't know
the cause," a police official was quoted as saying immediately after the blast.
"It's a blast near the WFP office. We exactly don't know what sort of blast it
was and what was its target." No group has claimed the responsibility for the
attack so far. Tariq Mehmood, a police official at the emergency response department,
was quoted as saying: "Three injured people have been brought so far to the local
hospital. It was a bomb blast, we are checking if it was a suicide attack." |
