Reports reaching here said a suicide bomber rammed his explosive laden vehicle at a Speena Thana FC check post near a Frontier constabulary fort when the paramilitary troops were conducting routine checking of the vehicles on Indus Highway Monday morning.
Another report say the blast took place when a suicide bomber detonated himself closed to the FC check-post while trying to enter the main entrance of Frontier Constabulary (FC) Base Camp setup at Degree College Darra Adamkhel on Peshawar-Kohat road.
The powerful explosion played havoc on the area killing as many as 6 people on the spot while many others sustained injuries.While the injured were shifted to a nearby hospital for treatment as emergency was declared in Kohat hospitals, four more succumbed to their injuries. The two of the victims were identified as the FC men as 8 civilians with a six year girl are also included among the dead.
The Peshawar-Kohat road was blocked for all kind of traffic for security purpose and the entire area was cordoned off by FC troops after the explosion. No organization or the militants outfit has accepted the responsibility for the deadly explosion.
NWFP Governor Owais Ahmed Ghani has strongly condemned the suicide attack on a security check post in Darra describing it a cowardly act of terrorism. He expressed his deep shock and grief over the loss of precious lives, majority of whom were ordinary innocent civilians.
In a condolence message, issued here Monday the Governor said “the act of terrorism itself speaks of the barbaric mindset of the elements, involved in the heinous crimes”.
The Governor also described the incident as highly un-civilized and inhuman act and said that the elements involved in such crimes are in fact the enemies of religion and humanity, who are out to spread anarchy in the society.
The Governor said that the Law Enforcing Agencies have taken these elements to task and expressed the confidence that with active and total support of the masses, the security forces would succeed to eliminate these elements and rid the nation of the menace of terrorism and extremism.
