Four persons, including a senior police officer, were killed and about 30 others injured when a powerful bomb blast targeted a police vehicle in Peshawar city of northwest Pakistan on Wednesday, officials and witnesses said.
Pakistani combat jets pounded militant bases in the lawless North Waziristan tribal region, including the home of Taliban commander Adnan Rashid, and killed 25 terrorists in retaliation for a string of attacks on security forces.
The blast occurred at an Imambargah located near the Qissa Khwani Bazaar area of Peshawar when the worshippers were offering Friday prayers.
