Roadside blast: Bomb jolts Frontier Corps vehicle


PESHAWAR:  A vehicle of the Frontier Corps (FC) was slightly damaged in a remote-controlled bomb attack on PAF Canal Road in Badhaber on Friday afternoon.
An FC convoy was passing through the area when the tyre of one of the trucks burst as a result of the explosion’s impact. There was, however, no loss of life.
FC personnel surrounded the area after the blast and fired shots in the air to keep people at a safe distance. The bomb disposal squad (BDS) inspected the site and collected evidence. BDS officials said the device had been strapped on to a motorbike and weighed around one kilogramme.
“It was a small homemade device, which is why the convoy escaped unhurt,” said Abdul Haq, a BDS official. He added no ball bearings were used in the attack and the device was detonated via a remote control.
