Two people were killed in a blast here on Wednesday, causing panic in the area and pointing to the emergence of Talibanisation in the district for the first time. The bomb exploded at around 9:00am at Saleem Tuition Centre in Turlandi, about 30 kilometres from the district headquarters. The explosion killed a teacher, Salimullah, 25, and his colleague Umer Nasir, 28. The bodies were found in pieces. Police said one of the dead had links with some jihadi organisations. Police claimed that "miscreants" wanted to explode the bomb on August 14, but they could not. A probe is underway to ascertain if the deceased were involved in the blast, police said.
