Pakistan: KP blast leaves one cop dead
At least one policeman died and nine others were injured as a blast rocked in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Khyber district on Thursday, media reports said.
KP Inspector General (IG) Akhtar Hayat confirmed that the attack took place in a tehsil office’s compound, reports Dawn News.
In a statement, IG Hayat said that two suicide attackers had tried to enter the premises of the tehsil office — one from the main gate and the other from the rear.
He stated that both the attackers were gunned down by the police, but added that “firing and blasts were carried out by both attackers”.
Samples of their DNA have been collected for further investigation, the IG said, adding that the blast damaged the office’s main gate and the building, reports the newspaper.
Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah also condemned the incident.
“The sacrifices of our soldiers are making history,” he was quoted as saying by Dawn News, adding that the “cowardly attacks of terrorists cannot lower our morale”.
