Police: 4 blasts near US Consulate in Pakistan

PESHAWAR, Pakistan — Four bombs exploded in quick succession Monday close to the U.S. Consulate in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar, police and witnesses said.

Gunfire was also heard close to the heavily guarded and fortified building in Peshawar, said police officer Aziz Khan.

Two of the blasts took place around 20 yards (meters) from the main entrance to the building, an Associated Press reporter close to the scene said.

The U.S. Embassy in Islamabad said it could not comment.

Local TV footage showed soldiers taking up defensive positions on the road outside the consulate. One soldier hit the ground in the middle of the road and began firing as a large explosion sent up a plume of gray smoke nearby.

Rescue workers carried at least one wounded man away on a stretcher, his clothing soaked with blood.

I hope the terrorists get caught alive.

This is a very nice up market area. It is very secured and it seems that someone probably had good funding and access to security to carry out such an attack.

But this is the last attempt of a dying breed, they have been beaten and the last of them will be wiped out completely. Ameen.

I would like to have a couple of words with them.

 

[Aslan]

I hope the terrorists get caught alive.

Amin to that brother, and not only catch them alive go terrorist on their Ar$e$, and also to help them nab their handlers in the city.

 

[mjnaushad]

I hope the terrorists get caught alive.

No chance. Reports are 3 vehicles attacked. And i think such huge blash can only be vehicles. These cowards dont have courage to face SF alive.

 

[mjnaushad]

Not to forget these bastards said the presence of our leader who is still "alive" will be felt. This could be connected to that statement.

 

[ajpirzada]

wat kind of material was used? lot of smoke here and not typical amount of damage which ends up destroying nearby buildings.

Triple blasts hit northwest Pakistan capital near U.S. consulate

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
-NEW: Three blasts detonated near U.S. consulate in Peshawar
-Peshawar is in a region rife with Islamic extremists
-Earlier, a rally to celebrate province's name change was attacked
-Bill to amend constitution to change name is on hold in parliament


Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- Three explosions went off in rapid succession near the U.S. consulate in the Pakistani city of Peshawar Monday.

The blasts in the capital of the North West Frontier Province came hours after a suicide attack killed 20 people and wounded 50 others in another part of the province.

Peshawar is about 120 kilometers (75 miles) from the country's capital, Islamabad.

The three explosions went off within a span of 15 minutes in the area of Saddar and Hayatabad Avenue, near the American consulate and the Peshawar headquarters of Pakistan's intelligence agency. The latter was the target of a deadly car bomb attack in November.

The U.S. Embassy in Islamabad would only confirm that an attack had taken place, adding it would offer more in a statement later.

Following the triple blasts, two people were taken to the Lady Reading Hospital -- one of whom later died, said Dr. Abdul Hamid Afridi. Authorities expect the casualty count to rise.

The North West Frontier Province is rife with Islamic extremists and has been the site of recent clashes between Pakistani security forces and militants.

Monday's suicide attack took place at a rally for the province's ruling Awami National Party in the lower Dir district, said lawmaker Mehmood Zeb Khan.

Hundreds of the participants had gathered for a rally to change the name of the province to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The bomber walked into the government building where the meeting was going on and blew himself up, said provincial spokesman Mian Iftikhar Hussain.

The province was given its current name during the British colonial rule. The party, which heads a coalition government in the province, wants the area's name to reflect its majority Pashtun population.

A bill to amend the constitution in support of the name change was expected to be introduced in parliament on Monday.

Journalist Nasir Habib contributed to this report.
