[DAWN] Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) on Monday grabbed credit for the killing of Lieutenant Colonel Tahir Azeem who was rubbed out a day earlier by unknown gunnies 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.

On Sunday, two assailants on a cycle of violence targeted Col Tahir in Abaseen Market when he was on his way home from a nearby mosque in Hayatabad Phase 3.

Local police said Tahir Azeem expired on the spot after sustaining multiple bullet wounds. A police official also told Dawn that Col Azeem's murder appeared to be a murder because there was no evidence that he had any personal enmity with anyone.

According to reports, Col Tahir Azeem's brothers-- Waqas and Shakil -- were also rubbed out in separate attacks in 2004 and 2005. Both Waqas and Shakil, however, had no association with the armed forces.
