Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader Amir Muqam, who visited victims of Tuesday’s Taliban attack on a school that left 141 dead, survived a roadside bomb blast on his way home.
Muqam, an adviser to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and former governor of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, was returning home after visiting hospitalised victims of the school raid in Peshawar when a bomb blast went off near his vehicle.
“A roadside bomb blast exploded as Muqam’s vehicle was passing by at Pish Takhar area of ring road at the outskirts of Peshawar,” senior police official Muhammad Ijaz Khan told reporters.
He said Muqam’s driver and two guards were injured.
