Bomb kills women, child in Khyber agency
 [Dawn] Two women and a child were killed on Wednesday when a bomb destroyed their vehicle in a tribal belt on the Afghan border, officials said.The blast took place on the outskirts of Bara, a restive town of Khyber district bordering Afghanistan. "At least two women and a child were killed and five others were maimed in a kaboom," Khyber's administrator Mutahir Zeb Khan told AFP. The bomb was planted on the roadside and detonated remotely as the pick-up vehicle carrying the passengers passed, he said. The target was unclear. Nobody grabbed credit for the attack, but similar bombings in the past have been blamed on gun-hung tough guys linked to the Taliban. Posted by: Fred 2012-03-01 |
