Five bombs used in bid on Musharrafâs life
Five remote-controlled bombs were used in the assassination attempt on President Pervez Musharraf at the weekend, Information Minister Sheikh Rashid said Tuesday. Would-be attackers planted five explosive devices, which detonated almost simultaneously and blew up a bridge seconds after General Musharrafâs motorcade passed on Sunday evening, he said. The bombs were highly sophisticated Rashid told a foreign news agency. This type of device was never used in the country in the past, he said. Five to six people have been questioned over the attack but no arrests have been made, the minister said. Those who planted the bombs were the âmost expert people,â he said. If they were so expert, how did they miss? Posted by: Steve 2003-12-16 |
