2008-08-30
(AKI) - Two people were killed and 29 others injured in a suspected suicide attack near the Kohat Tunnel in volatile Northwest Frontier Province early on Friday, police said, cited by the Associated Press of Pakistan news agency.

A suspected suicide bomber blew up his explosives-laden car when it approached the Kohat Tunnel. Pakistan's Geo TV reported that the attackers had used three explosives-packed vehicles in the attack. Two people succumbed to their injuries from the blast while 29 others, most of them security personnel guarding the tunnel, were critically wounded, APP said.

Soon after the explosion, the management of the Kohat Tunnel closed it to traffic and tightened security.
