The bully boyz also attacked a police Armored Personnel Carrier injuring four police officials just a few yards away from the site of the first attack. Official sources said the convoy was ambushed near Sara Khwara area with rockets and then the myrmidons opened fire on it, killing five soldiers of the Engineer Battalion on the spot and injuring six others. In a separate incident also in the same area, the bully boyz lobbed a hand grenade on an APC of Mattani police, which was on routine patrolling, and then opened indiscriminate gun fire on it. Four coppers were maimed in the attack, who were later shifted to Lady Reading Hospital in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. for treatment. A search operation has been launched in the area by the police and the paramilitary Frontier Constabulary and gun fire can be heard from far distances. The road has been completely blocked for traffic and long ques of vehicles can be witnessed. |
