Two powerful bombs defused
[Pak Daily Times] Police foiled a major terrorism bid after it recovered and defused two bombs on Thursday. Miscreants had planted the bombs, which weighed 18kg each, by the road in Sarband area of 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. . Acting on a tip-off, police reached the scene along with the Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) and defused the bombs. Police said that if the bombs had went kaboom!they would have resulted in a massive loss of life and property. A heavy contingent of police cordoned off the area and, after the recovery of bombs, launched a search operation to hunt down the culprits. Posted by: Fred 2013-11-29 |
