| ANP MPA targeted in Peshawar explosion |
| 2010-01-11 |
| [Dawn] A remote-controlled bomb detonated in the Pawaka area of Peshawar targeting ANP MPA Alamgir Khan. According to police, Khan's vehicle was partially damaged in the incident; however, no casualties have been reported so far. Police official Bashir Khan says nobody was harmed in the blast, which damaged a wall outside a building where lawmaker Aalimgir Khan often meets with guests. Peshawar has experienced a wave of attacks since mid-October, when the army launched a major ground offensive against the Pakistani Taliban's main stronghold in the South Waziristan tribal area. Many of the militants fled the offensive and have been launching attacks throughout the country. More than 600 people have been killed in the past three months. |
