PESHAWAR: At least four, including three security personnel, were martyred after a suicide blast ripped through a checkpoint in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s rugged South Waziristan District near the country’s porous border with Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
According to Deputy Commissioner Rehan Gul Khattak, two security officials, a policeman and one civilian embraced martyrdom, while one security man and a cop sustained bullet wounds in the assault.
The injured and the martyred were shifted to the Miranshah Hospital.
DC Khattak said that the suicide bomber blew himself up during routine frisking at a checkpoint manned by several security men and local cops.
This is the second attack by terrorists in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in two days.
