Bomb blast kills two in Peshawar
 ISLAMABAD - Two senior police officers were killed and six people were wounded when a bomb exploded late Saturday near a Shia mosque in a marketplace in Pakistans northwestern city of Peshawar, police said.
| As Frank G noted about a similar bombing yesterday, this can't be the work of Hek's boys -- whoever did this was competent. |
The blast occurred in Qisakhawani bazaar in Peshawar, capital of the Northwest Frontier Province, bordering Afghanistan. It was the second attack in Pakistan in two days, after a suicide bomber blew himself up at a top hotel in Islamabad on Friday, killing himself and a security guard who prevented him from entering the hotel.
Pakistani security forces are currently on high but not high enough alert across the country amid religious rites of Shia Muslims commemorating the 7th century martyrdom of the prophet Mohammads grandson.
