PESHAWAR: Three explosions occurred inside Shama Cinema in Peshawar on Tuesday, Express News reported.
Security forces and the Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) reached the scene shortly after the incident. Rescue teams have also reached the location and the injured are being taken to Lady Reading Hospital for treatment.
At least 50 people were inside the cinema hall at the time of the explosion.
Shama Cinema
According to sources in the city, the cinema was once owned by senior minister Bashir Ahmed Bilour. The cinema, it is believed, is now managed by close relatives of the Bilour brothers.
When contacted by The Express Tribune in 2011, Aziz Ahmed Bilour said he had been busy doing public service in Islamabad since he left Peshawar two decades ago. He said he has not gone to the cinema since then. Aziz also insisted he does not own any cinema and does not know who owns the Shama Cinema.
