A technician from Pakistan's top bomb disposal unit is helped into his protective suit during a bomb search operation in Peshawar October 2, 2013. Twelve years into the war on militancy, Pakistan's police are chronically under-funded. This year's federal budget gave the military about $6 billion and the police $686 million, a lopsided allocation mirrored in the disbursement of foreign aid. While the United States has given Pakistan about $30 billion since 2001, the police have got a tiny fraction compared with the military. A little of that reached the country's top police bomb disposal unit in the city of Peshawar. Picture taken October 2, 2013.

The law enforcement agencies on Saturday foiled a bid to blow up a private school in Qandeel Colony, Bagh district of Azad Kashmir by defusing two homemade bombs which were planted in classrooms.
The two bombs were spotted by students. The law enforcement agencies along with the Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) immediately reached the school. The BDS successfully defused the bombs.
The security forces cordoned off the area, evacuated the students and carried out a thorough search operation. They cleared the entire school before vacating the premises.
According to police sources, the words “TTP Jhalak” (TTP glimpse) were written on the bombs.
