Four killed in attack on police station in Peshawar

Four policemen were killed when three suicide bombers blew themselves up in an attack on a police station in Peshawar on Friday, officials said.
The attackers, armed with hand grenades, also wounded four other policemen in the attack on the station in the city of Peshawar.
“Four policemen have been killed and four others were wounded in the suicide attack,” Yameen Khan, a senior police official told AFP.
“The suicide bombers first fired at the police station and then used hand grenades to enter inside the building. Later they blew themselves up,” Khan said.
He said the station was targeted because it housed a large number of the security forces.
“The attackers wanted to kill the maximum number of policemen, that is the reason they selected this station. Around 200 policemen resided here at a time,” he said.
The attack came a day after a car bomb ripped through a bus station killing 13 people, including two children, on the outskirts of Peshawar.
