| [Dawn] One person was killed and seven others, including two coppers, sustained injuries in a roadside kaboom at Jehangira Chowk here on Thursday. Police said that a remote controlled bomb planted by unidentified persons along the road near Jehangira Chowk went off with a big bang. The blast occurred just a few moments after a police mobile van stopped at the site, they said. They added that the vehicle was partially damaged in the blast. They said about two to three kilograms explosive was used in the bomb and police was its apparent target. A civilian identified as Shamsul Qamar, a resident of Par Hehangira, was killed and seven persons were maimed in the blast. Few of the injured were identified as police van driver Sardar Ali, head constable Akhtar Ali and passers-by Inam, Noman and Ilyas. The injured were taken to district headquarters hospital Nowshera for treatment. In another incident, a security guard identified as Saeedullah was injured in a mysterious blast at Jalozai IDPs camp here on Thursday. The nature of the kaboom could not be ascertained. Some people said that it was an improvised bomb planted at the camp while others said that a hand grenade was hurled at the security guard. Meanwhile, ...back at the argument, Jane reached into her purse for her .38... lawyers, judges and litigants vacated Nowshera courts after a bomb hoax. The Bomb Disposal Squad was called but it could not find any bomb on the premises of courts. The people returned to courts after three hours. |
