Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, is the gateway to Pakistan s troubled FATA where troops have been locked for years in deadly battles with terrorists. The city has been labelled by Washington as the main sanctuary for al Qaeda and Taliban mercenaries in the country.
The cities have seen frequent attacks by militants in the past few years, with targets ranging from civilians to policemen and other law enforcement personnel.
