Four persons were killed and several others injured in a car bomb attack on the house of a tribal elder in the Pishtakhara area of Peshawar, the provincial capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on February 3, reports Dawn. Cantonment Circle Superintendent of Police Dr Mian Saeed Ahmed said that about 40 kilograms of explosives had been packed in the car and detonated with remote control. He said that the main target was tribal elder Astana Gul but he was not there at the time of blast and his brother Ghazi Khan and his three friends died. He said that the deceased included an Army captain but it could not be ascertained if he was a serving officer or had retired. Astana Gul, who was once associated with the Khyber Agency (FATA)-based militant Lashkar-e-Islam (LI) outfit headed by the Mangal Bagh, joined its rival Ansar-ul-Islam and the blast appeared to be aimed at punishing him and warning for others against leaving Mangal Bagh’s outfit. The blast caused a wide crater near the building and damaged several other houses. LI claimed responsibility for the blast.

At least four persons, including two Americans, were reportedly killed and 19 others injured in when a suicide bomber detonated his explosives-laden vehicle in the University Town area of Peshawar, the provincial capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on September 3, reports Pakistan Today. Officials said the target of the bombing was apparently a vehicle in use by US nationals. As per details, the suicide bomber rammed his explosives-laden vehicle into the vehicle purportedly carrying US nationals on the main Aabdara Road in University Town. The massive explosion left a four-foot crater on the road and destroyed several houses and vehicles. The bomb-proof vehicle of US diplomatic mission was also badly damaged. A Police officer who witnessed the attack said the US nationals attacked in the blast were whisked away by another vehicle soon after the blast. Therefore, authorities were unclear of the actual casualties and injuries caused to the foreigners. Peshawar Capital City Police Officer Imtiaz Altaf also expressed ignorance about the fate of US nationals in the vehicle attacked by the bomber. However, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Mian Iftikhar Hussain said those killed “included two Americans”.
