At least two Policemen, identified as Abdul Jabbar (40) and
Naheedullah
(38), were
killed and
five others,
including
three civilians
were injured
in a suicide
attack targeting
the convoy
of Faheem-ur-Rehman,
the head
of the anti-Taliban
Bazidkhel
Qaumi Lashkar
(Peace Committee)
at Bazidkhel
Chowk in
Badhaber
area of
Peshawar
on June
12, reports
Daily
Times.
Both the
Policemen
killed in
the attack
belonged
to Bazidkhel
village
and were
members
of the Special
Force. According
to bomb
disposal
unit, legs
of the bomber
had been
found and
he appeared
to be a
teenager.
Fahim said that as a routine, he travelled in his own car,
but this
time he
had luckily
changed
the vehicle
and escaped
the attack.
“Yes, there
are threats
to my life,
but I am
not worried
because
it was not
the first
attack on
my life,”
he said.
He accused
Tehreek-e-Taliban
Pakistan
(TTP)
of carrying
out the
attack because
he had been
opposing
them for
a long time
and would
not succumb
to their
pressure.
“We are
determined
to fight
the Taliban
and Lashkar-e-Islam
(LI) because
they are
against
Pakistan
and killing
innocent
people,”
Fahim added.
Separately, unidentified militants destroyed three shops and
a tube-well
in Merikhel
area of
Darra Adamkhel
town in
Kohat District,
reported
Dawn.
Sources
said that
owner of
one shop
Gul Hassan
Afridi had
been warned
by militants
to stop
informing
Security
Forces (SFs)
about their
activities.
However
no loss
of life
was reported.
Meanwhile the Peshawar High Court (PHC) Chief Justice
Dost Mohammad
Khan on
June 13
(today)
underlined
the need
for solid
steps to
ensure rule
of law and
upholding
of the Constitution
for healthy
development
of society.
Speaking
at the oath-taking
ceremony
of PHC Bar
Association
in Dera
Ismail Khan
District,
he said
the bench
and bar
were two
important
pillars
of judiciary
and therefore,
they should
strive for
dispensation
of justice.
He said
a large
number of
missing
persons
was a great
challenge
for the
judiciary
but its
efforts
had led
to the shifting
of around
900 such
persons
to internment
centres
notified
by the Government. |
