It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... 's old wholesale vegetable market on Thursday. Three others were also reported injured in the kaboom. The kaboom took place in a shop near Tanoli's residence where the inspector was seated with some of his friends. "The blast killed police official Shafiq Tanoli and two others," senior local police official Tanvir Ahmad Tunio told AFP. He said there were at least five people in the shop at the time of blast, which targeted Tanoli. Another local police official confirmed the attack and casualties. Police official Pir Mohammad Shah said the kaboom appeared to be a suicide kaboom but an investigating was underway. Shah said Tanoli, who survived several attempts on his life in the past, was targeted for his active campaigning against terrorists. Tanoli, who had recently been suspended on charges of misconduct, appeared to have been the target of today's attack. No one has so far grabbed credit for the kaboom. Tanoli has also been targeted several times before. |
