Five killed in Khyber explosion
2014-10-16
[DAWN] At least five people were killed and seven others were maimed on Wednesday in a kaboom in the Khyber tribal region's Tirah valley.

Official sources said the blast which may have been a suicide kaboom occurred in the Pir Mela area of Tirah valley.

Moreover, sources said it was suspected that a jacket wallah may have targeted volunteers from the Zalakhel peace committee. However,

the identity of the victims is yet to be ascertained.

Police and rescue teams immediately rushed to the site of the incident and shifted the victims to a nearby hospital.

Khyber is situated in Pakistain's semi-autonomous tribal belt close to the Afghan border. Groups linked to Taliban and other Al Qaeda, who stage attacks in both countries, are known to have strongholds in the zone.
