One killed in Dera Ismail Khan blast
PESHAWAR: Unidentified attackers hurled a grenade into a house in Dera Ismail Khan early on Sunday, killing one person and wounding another. No one claimed responsibility for the attack. The grenade explosion took place near the central headquarters of Jamait Ulema-i-Islam (JUI) a few hours before the arrival of North West Frontier Province Chief Minister Akram Khan Durrani on a three-day visit to D I Khan. The chief minister was scheduled to meet JUI leaders in the partyâs headquarters. âWe are investigating the matter, but apparently it is not an act of terrorism,â said Usman Zikraya, police chief in Dera Ismal Khan.
| "It's, ummm... something else." |
He gave no other details and only said âeverything will be clear in a day or so.â The police have registered a case and are searching for the culprits.
