Twin suicide bombings kill 11 in Peshawar |
Two deadly bomb blasts on Friday left 11 people dead and 15 injured in Pakistan's north-western city,
Peshawar. Three police officers, two women and two children were among those killed
in the twin bomb attack. "First I saw a blue flame then a loud explosion. When
I got there I saw six bodies lying on the ground. I helped gather up body parts,"
BBC quoted an eyewitness, as saying. Earlier it was being speculated that three
suicide bombers, including a woman, attacked the police investigation bureau in
the Swati Pathak area of the city. Later, it emerged that the woman was an innocent
victim and had been a passenger on a motorcycle travelling behind the car bomb.
The suicide attack comes amid tight security measures after about 40 people were
killed in Lahore and the north-west on Thursday. Just like Rawalpindi's GHQ terror
attack, the latest bombing appeared to be aimed directly at Pakistan's police
services, BBC reports. At least 160 people have died in a series of terror attacks
across Pakistan following a threat by the Pak-Taliban that it would take revenge
of the death of its leader Baitullah Mehsud. |
