Policeman killed in Mardan suicide attack

PESHAWAR: A policeman was killed and five others were wounded as a suicide bomber struck a police patrol in Mardan district on Saturday.

“Police signalled two people riding a motorcycle to stop. One of them opened fire on police instead,” police officer Jaffer Khan said. Police retaliated and one of the injured bombers blew himself up after falling from the motorcycle,” he said. The other suicide bomber was chased and shot dead in the Katlang area, he added. “Additional Sub-Inspector Khushdal Khan died and two policemen were injured,” the police official told media.

Three civilians were also injured in the incident, he said. It was unclear what target the bombers had set for themselves. “It was our success that the bombers were intercepted before they could reach their target,” Jaffer said. Nobody immediately claimed the responsibility. Separately, a bomb blast damaged a non-governmental organisation office in Peshawar early Saturday but caused no casualties, police said.




The bomb exploded outside the office of Society for Appraisal and Women Empowerment in Rural Areas (SAWERA). No loss of life was reported as the explosion took place at 4am when the office was closed, senior management of the NGO working on women’s empowerment in tribal areas, said. A official at Sawera said the organisation had not received any specific threat but militants have attacked NGOs and aid workers in the past.
