Bombing Kills Two Policemen in PeshawarPESHAWAR,Pakistan: A bomb ripped through a police vehicle, killing two policemen and wounding five people here early on Friday, officials said.

“It was a remote-controlled bomb packed with steel pellets, which was planted on the roadside,” senior police official Mohammad Karim Khan said.

Doctor Attaullah Arif at the city’s main Lady Reading Hospital said two policemen were killed and five people wounded, including three police.

The left side of the patrol vehicle, which can seat around six policemen in the back of the cabin, was badly damaged with four or five berets discarded next to splashes of blood, said an AFP correspondent.

The attack came around 14 hours after a suicide bomber struck a court in Peshawar killing 19 people, the sixth attack in 11 days as arm forces presses a major offensive against the Taliban in South Wazirstan.
