49 persons, including a woman and seven children, were killed and 90 others were injured when a suicide attacker detonated his explosives-laden car at the crowded Soekarno Chowk in Khyber Bazaar in Peshawar, capital of NWFP, on October 9, The News reported. A Police official said that people were busy in routine activities when a suicide bomber detonated the explosives laden in his car. Many of those killed and injured were passengers of a mini-bus that was passing through the area at the time of the blast. Seven children, many of them schoolboys, and a woman, were among those killed. The blast destroyed around 30 vehicles and partially damaged over 60 shops in the nearby markets. Windowpanes of hundreds of shops and offices were also reportedly destroyed. Among those killed or injured were patients and their attendants going or coming out of the nearby Lady Reading Hospital, the biggest public sector hospital in the NWFP. An official of the bomb disposal unit (BDU) estimated that around 50 kg of high-intensity explosives had been loaded in the car, being driven by the suicide bomber, while another official said the explosives were around 100 kg. “As the explosives were loaded in the doors and side cavities, it caused more damage to the nearby buildings rather than creating a huge crater in the ground,” a BDU official said. There were reports that the bomber attempted to reach the NWFP Assembly building through Sher Shah Suri Road but was not allowed by the Policemen near the Peshawar Central Prison. The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Malik Naveed termed the attack a reaction to the ongoing military operations in Swat and parts of the FATA. The Deputy Medical Superintendent at Lady Reading Hospital, Sahib Gul, said the blast killed 50 people and wounded 120 others, 22 of them critically. Dr Gul said the death toll could increase, adding that most of the dead were beyond recognition. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombing.

At least 15 persons, including three policemen, were killed and 19 others sustained injuries after a suicide bomber rammed his explosives-laden vehicle into the Criminal Investigation Agency’s (CIA) Special Investigation Unit in Peshawar, the capital city of North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) on October 16; the ninth major terror attack in the country in less than two weeks, according to Daily Times.

A remote-controlled car bomb killed at least 105 people – including women and children – and injured around 200 others at the Meena Bazaar in Peshawar, capital of the NWFP, on October 28, Daily Times reported. "We have received 92 bodies and some parts of bodies and 200 injured people – including 70 women and children," said Haider Afridi, chief executive of the Lady Reading Hospital. He said around 25 people – mostly women – were in critical condition, while only 25 bodies had so far been identified. "Nineteen of the dead are women and 11 are children. All the dead are civilians," Dr Zafar Iqbal told the AFP news agency. The NWFP Information Minister Iftikhar Hussain, however, said, "More than 80 people were killed ... around 200, mostly women and children, were injured in the car bomb blast." Bomb disposal squad chief Shafqat Malik told reporters that 150 kilograms of explosives were used in the remote-controlled blast. He said that some people were still trapped under the rubble. According to the AFP, the explosion brought down buildings. A three-storey building and a mosque, Masjid Umme Habiba, situated in the narrow bazaar, caved in while six other structures were engulfed by a huge fire caused by the explosion, The News reported. Around 12 houses and over 60 shops were gutted while almost 300 other shops and houses were severely damaged due to the powerful explosion at around 12:40 pm. The Meena Bazaar is famous for women’s dresses, cosmetics and children’s garments. Minister Iftikhar Hussain told journalists that the blast was linked with the ongoing military operation in South Waziristan against the Taliban, saying, "foreign terrorists – including Arabs, Chechens and Uzbeks – stationed in Waziristan are carrying out attacks in Pashtun areas". However, no group has claimed responsibility for the bombing so far, according to Daily Times. The Capital City Police Officer Liaqat Ali told reporters that terrorists were "confused" because of the security in the city, and were – therefore – targeting public places. He said, "There was information that an explosives-laden car had entered the city." Meanwhile, the Taliban and Al Qaeda have denied involvement in the bomb blast and claimed they do not explode bombs in bazaars and mosques, The News reported. According to an Al Qaeda statement, they are not involved in the killing of innocent people. Al Qaeda sources said elements who want to defame Jihad and refugees are behind the Peshawar bomb blast. The banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan in an email sent to the media also condemned the blast and denied its involvement in the incident.
