Bomb blast kills four in Peshawar

A car bomb attack targeting an anti-militant tribal elder killed four people on Friday and wounded seven others in Peshawar, police said. The attack outside the residence of the tribal elder Aastana Gul in the Pishtakhara suburb of Peshawar damaged one house and the office of a property dealer in the street. “Four persons were killed and seven were wounded,” Tahir Ayub, a senior police official told AFP. Peshawar’s bomb disposal expert Hukam Khan said up to 40 kilogrammes of explosives were packed in the car and detonated remotely. Another police official, speaking on condition of anonymity, blamed a homegrown militant group Lashkar-e-Islam led by the warlord Mangal Bagh and based Khyber Agency for the killings.
