2013-02-27
[Dawn] A security man was killed and five others were maimed in a blast in a military fort in Bara tehsil of Khyber Agency, officials said.

They said that the kaboom occurred in an ammunition depot inside Fort Salop, situated in the south of Bara Bazaar. They said that a security man was killed on the spot while five others received injuries in the blast that also damaged at least five rooms in the fort.

Officials said that the explosives that triggered the blast were seized during search operations at different times in Bara.

The British-era Fort Salop is now inhabited by Mehsud Scouts and most of the suspected hard boyz apprehended during operations are kept at the fort for interrogations. A large quantity of arms and ammunitions seized from hard boyz and also used during the ongoing military operation is also stored in the fort.

Security forces cordoned off the surrounding localities of the fort soon after the blast and did not allow anybody to get near the blast site. The injured coppers were shifted to a military hospital in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
