| 2009-12-08 |
| At least 10 people have been killed and 45 others wounded in a blast outside a court building in Pakistan's northwest city of Peshawar. The explosion occurred Monday following recent attacks in Peshawar that lies on the edge of Pakistan's lawless tribal belt. Dr. Jamil Ahmad at the city's Lady Reading Hospital said at least 10 people were killed, including two policemen, adding that 45 others were wounded. Security and government facilities are main targets of militants. On November 19, an explosion killed 19 people outside another judicial complex in Peshawar. Earlier on Saturday, an explosion in Peshawar left four people dead. Hundreds have lost their lives in a series of terrorist attacks in Pakistan beginning in October when the Pakistani army launched an offensive against pro-Taliban militants in the northwest. |
