Also two rockets were fired in Peshawar city, capital of North-West Frontier Province (NWFP), but there were no casualties reported. A military truck hit a roadside bomb near a military headquarters in Kohat town, about 150 kilometers north of Islamabad, police sources told KUNA. They said militants had planted the remote-controlled bomb on a bicycle which exploded with a huge bang when the military truck was passing by. Sources said that the explosion wounded at least seven persons including four soldiers. No one claimed responsibility for the explosion. It was the third incident reported in last two days in northern Pakistan, coinciding with peace talks between the government and local Taliban militants to curb rising militancy in the country. Meanwhile, two rockets were fired in Peshawar city. One landed in the cantonment area and the other crashed into the house of a government official, said senior local police officer Muhammad Imtiaz while talking to newsmen.
