| Two suspected terrorists were killed late on Saturday night while attempting to plant a bomb in a Hazarkhani warehouse, in the jurisdiction of Yakatoot police station, police said. A Yakatoot police station official said two unidentified people were planting a bomb in a Degure & Logistic warehouse when the bomb went off at 1:30am killing both of them on the spot. He said they appeared to be Afghans in their mid-twenties. Vehicles carrying goods for American forces in Afghanistan use the warehouse, he added. A police statement said three time bombs, hand grenades and two kg of explosives were also recovered, which were later defused by the bomb disposal squad. A broken AK-47 and a pistol were also recovered from the crime scene. The bodies of both suspects were sent for DNA tests, it said. Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Abdul Majeed Marwat told Daily Times, “We cannot rule out Taliban involvement in the incident, as the bombers tried to disrupt the supplies for American soldiers in Afghanistan.” Commenting on an earlier Peshawar bus terminal explosion, the CCPO said it was a continuation of the previous blasts in Peshawar. |
