Lakki police foil bombing attempt
PESHAWAR: Lakki Marwat police seized a bomb planted in a cylinder in the Faqeerano Market area on Sunday. Station House Officer (SHO) Faridullah Shah told Daily Times via telephone that a stopwatch was attached to the three-kilogramme locally made bomb, which was hidden in bushes. He said a local resident had informed the police of the bomb, planted to target a fair in the area every Sunday. There was no bomb disposal squad in Lakki Marwat, the SHO said, so the police had to call the Bannu bomb disposal squad to defuse it. A bomb blast on Saturday killed the man who was planting it in the Ghaznikhel Market of Lakki Marwat. The blast also destroyed four shops in the market. Posted by: Fred 2007-02-05 |
