The Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) personnel on Thursday defused a five-kilogram explosive device in Peshawar’s Bud Bair area, foiling a major terrorism attempt.
According to police, the homemade bomb was planted near Salman Khail police station in the Bud Bair area of Peshawar.
Upon receiving information about the bomb, security forces summoned BDS personnel to the area who successfully defused the explosive.
Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, is the gateway to Pakistan s troubled northwestern tribal region where troops have been locked for years in deadly battles with insurgents. The city has been labeled by Washington as the main sanctuary for Al Qaeda and Taliban militants in the country.
