3 killed, 5 hurt in Peshawar suicide attack
Three people, including a policeman, were killed and five others injured when a suicide bomber blew himself up at a police checkpost in Faqirabad on Monday, said police. The bomber struck near a busy intersection which connects Charsadda Road and Ring Road in the northeast of the city. Peshawar SSP (Operations) Muhammad Karim Khan said the bomber was trying to enter the city in a rickshaw through Sardar Ahmad Jan Colony. He said police at the checkpost stopped the rickshaw; but the driver tried to dodge policemen. "When the bomber saw the road blocked, he detonated his explosives," said the SSP, adding that one of those injured was in critical condition. He said five-to-seven kilogrammes of explosives were used in the attack. He said police had launched an investigation, and were trying to determine the actual target of the bomber.
