[An Nahar] A jacket wallah went kaboom!" outside a cop shoppe in northwestern Pakistain after officers opened fire on him on Wednesday, police said, adding that there were no other casualties.The incident took place outside Jandol cop shoppe in the mountainous Lower Dir district, one of the tribal areas bordering Pakistain where Taliban and al-Qaeda gun-hung tough guys have strongholds. "A man was coming towards the cop shoppe, when police shouted to stop him he began running and went kaboom!" when police started firing," senior police official Akhtar Hayat Gandapur told Agence La Belle France Presse. There were no other casualties or damage, he said. Nobody immediately grabbed credit for the attack, but Talibs have been carrying out similar bombings and suicide kabooms in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. Posted by: Fred 2012-09-06 |
