Six children and two women among 40 persons were killed and 70 other injured when a car loaded with explosive material went off with a big bang in the busiest and historical Qissa Khawani bazaar, near Khan Razaq Police Station in the provincial capital on Sunday, police control confirmed.
Police have confirmed the blast and said it occurred in a vehicle, parked near the police station. Soon after the blast, fire erupted which caused damaged to the nearby market as well. Commissioner Peshawar Sahibzada Muhammad Anis while talking to APP, said that it was not ascertained that the explosion occurred in the vehicle parked near the Khan Razaq Police Station.
However, he said, the evidence clearly indicated that explosive material was planted in the vehicle and was detonated with remote control devise. It was the third incident in Peshawar in 10-day time, he said.
The Rescue and Edhi workers along with the local people started relief operation by shifting the injured persons to LeadyReadingHospital for medical treatment. Several vehicles and adjacent buildings were also damaged.
The blast occurred a week after a twin suicide blasts at a Church killed more than 83 people including women and children. The DMS of Lady Ready Hospital also confirmed that they have received 29 dead bodies and 70 other injured including women and children.
The official of the law enforcing agencies also cordoned off the area by starting the search operation.
Bandit country, a cursed country, a banana republic! I spit on those mothers who have given birth to these terrorist monsters and on those who support them directly and indirectly.Nawaz, if he had any feelings for his countrymen who have been slaughtered by these scum of the earth, should have cut short his NY visit and flown home – just like nero, he was playing his fiddle when rome was burning.Nawaz should have the sense to see ,that the terrorist within his borders are more of a threat than his neighbours.The local administration has failed the people and if they have any sense of being honourable people they should resign – but are not, instead they are blaming everybody except themselves. For taliban khan another opportunity for a photo session and lot of crap.
I totally agree with you. But nawaz wants to shake Obama's hand and have a great time in New York…while Pakistan bleeds. just during Kargil, he ate ice cream while our forces fought and died in Kashmir
I hope all those who want to talk to the terrorists have learned a valuable lesson. They only understand the words that come from the barrel of a gun.
They want to have war and they chose the cowards way to fight it. let them have war then. Bomb and hunt them down. Kill all who refuse to surrender unconditionally and secure Pakistan once an for all.
The attacks taking place in quick succession only indicate that the terrorists are desperate to pressure the government into accepting their terms before any dialogue is initiated. And the fact that they have selected Peshawar, the seats of PTI’s government for deadly attacks speaks volumes about a possible nexus between PTI and TTP to push Imran Khan’s agenda. Every time an attack takes place, Khan comes out defending the terrorists and providing justifications for the attack. He has not, even for once, condemned the attackers who readily accept the responsibility. Read more at: http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/1564923…
If Imran Khan truly believes that killing innocent civilians in our cities is ok, then he has no right to criticise the US drone program but more then that, he is not the man I voted for.
Anyone with even a passing interest in history will know that ultimately, appeasement fails
