7 injured in bomb blast in Pakistan's NW Nowshera district

At least seven people including three children were injured on Tuesday in a bomb blast that hit Pakistan's northwestern district of Nowshera, local sources said.
According to the sources, the blast took place at about 10:09 a. m. local time near the house of Main Iftikhar Hussain, the Information Minister of Pakistan's northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, in the Pabbi area of the Nowshera.
The explosives material was fixed in a sewerage pipeline alongside the road and was detonated with a remote controlled device, the police said.
The explosion injured three children and four other people including a policeman who was on duty near the minister's house.
The police and rescue teams rushed to the site and shifted the injured to the Lady Reading Hospital in the provincial capital of Peshawar.
According to the local media reports, it might be an attempt to threaten the minister as he will address a public gathering in the afternoon in Pabbi, a town between Nowshera city and Peshawar.
No group or militant organization claimed responsibility for the blast yet.
Hussain, who is the main leader of provincially ruling Awami National Party (ANP), has been a strong critic of Pakistani Taliban.

PESHAWAR, Pakistan, March 12, 2013 (AFP) - A remote-controlled bomb targeting police killed two people in northwest Pakistan Tuesday, police said, hours after a blast near the home of a prominent provincial minister.
The bomb exploded near a police van carrying six people outside the main police station in the town of Bannu, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, district police chief Nisar Ahmed Tanoli told AFP.
Bannu is close to the lawless tribal area along the Afghan border where Taliban and other militants have hideouts.
An earlier blast in the town of Pabbi, just 60 metres (200 feet) from the home of Mian Iftikhar Hussain, the information minister for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, wounded six people.
Pakistan is due to hold a general election some time in May but concerns about poll security have grown amid a series of attacks, particularly after a series of bombings targeting minority Shiite Muslims killed at least 250 people.
Tanoli said the Bannu device contained 2 kg (4 lbs) of explosives and completely destroyed the police van.
“It was a remote-controlled bomb, planted on a motorbike parked outside the police station,” he said, adding that the blast killed two civilian passersby.
Police constable Mohammad Shiraz told AFP: “We were six people in the van which was on routine patrol in the city. A sudden blast ripped through the van and all of us were wounded.”Doctor Mahmood Jan at Bannu's hospital confirmed the death toll and said medics had received 14 wounded.
Hussain, a member of the province's ruling Awami National Party (ANP) whose son was killed by Taliban militants, was 25 km (15 miles) away in Peshawar at the time of the blast near his home, police said.
 
PressTV - Bomb blast kills three Pakistani soldiers

Three Pakistani soldiers have been killed and two others wounded in a roadside bomb blast in the northwestern tribal region of Kurram near the Afghan border, a government official says.


Javed Khan, a local administrator in Kurram Agency, said the bomb went off near an army vehicle in Dogar village on Monday.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack. However, the pro-Taliban militants are often blamed for the deadly bombings.

The militants often attack security forces and civilians. They have killed thousands of Pakistani soldiers in recent years.

The militants have also managed to spread their influence in various regions of Pakistan, despite countermeasures taken by the Pakistani army.
 
in Kurram especially parts of lower Kurram the local talebs are broken into two split rival factions --Tehreek e Taleban Pakistan & Tehreek e Taleban Islami

both factions have been rival ones but both equally troublesome within that area.....surrounded by Afghanistan border from the north, west and south

I vehemently condemn the Taliban attack in Karachi resulting in the loss of 4 Rangers in the line of duty. I know that such attacks will not weaken the resolve of these fine men to execute law and order in Karachi and elsewhere in Pakistan. PM

I was expecting an attack from Indians after beef thread.
 
You mean your offensive posts on a thread on PDF were responsible for the death of those pakistanis? Dude thats just messed up any way you look at it.

Telling, India state laws bans Muslims to celebrate their religious festivals make you offended!

Every terror attack in Pakistan is organized by RAW and its assets in Pakistan.

The MQM believes that the killing of Fakhrul Islam, its electoral candidate from Hyderabad, was an act of targeted murder carried out by the Taliban. Taliban spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan has claimed responsibility for the shooting of the politician and attributed it to the fact that the MQM has spoken out against militancy and favoured a secular state. The assassination comes very soon after a PPP candidate was killed in Karachi, three other MQM men gunned down in another incident last month and an independent contestant previously associated with the ANP targeted in FR Bannu. An ANP candidate escaped miraculously in Peshawar on Thursday.

It is now becoming clear that – along with other violent elements – the militants do indeed intend to carry out their threats to kill persons associated with parties they have identified as being ‘un-Islamic’. For candidates contesting the elections on the tickets of these parties, the contest is beginning to resemble an insane game of Russian roulette. Such parties will obviously be held back in their campaigning. Indeed this has already happened with Asfandyar Wali deciding not to lead the ANP effort and Bilawal Bhutto’s movement severely restricted because of fears for his life. The Taliban have thus become invisible players in the coming election. This is a danger that we hope has been taken into account, along with others, by the army while strategising for security during the polls.
