A car bomb attack targeting an anti-militant tribal elder killed four people on Friday and wounded seven others in Peshawar, police said. The attack outside the residence of the tribal elder Aastana Gul in the Pishtakhara suburb of Peshawar damaged one house and the office of a property dealer in the street. “Four persons were killed and seven were wounded,” Tahir Ayub, a senior police official told AFP. Peshawar’s bomb disposal expert Hukam Khan said up to 40 kilogrammes of explosives were packed in the car and detonated remotely. Another police official, speaking on condition of anonymity, blamed a homegrown militant group Lashkar-e-Islam led by the warlord Mangal Bagh and based Khyber Agency for the killings.

  1. If it was a car bomb i am assuming the militants have yet again used IED. This is an alarming sign for our higher authorities and they should make counter strategies to eliminate the usage of IED's.

  2. Improvised explosive devices strike again. Please Government, stop terrorism and the production of these dangerous devices.

  3. Terrorism would not stop until improvised explosive devices production is put to an end by the government.

  4. Terrorism strikes Peshawar again! Terrorists definitely used their new weapon “improvised explosive devices” to cause this calamity.

  5. With improvised explosive devices in use by the terrorists, every Pakistani citizen is at the risk of terrorism.
