A suicide attack targeted a Station House Officer (SHO) in Risalpur on Friday, killing him and his driver on the outskirts of Nowshera, police said.
The suicide bomber blew himself up alongside the SHO’s private car as his driver slowed down to approach a speed bump.
“It was a suicide attack, the police officer and his driver were killed,” Israr Ullah Khan, a senior police officer told AFP by telephone from the scene.
“He was the target. It looks like the bomber was waiting for him,” he added.
Two people, another police constable and a passer-by were wounded.
Mohammad Hussain, Nowshera police chief, confirmed the casualties.
