Several wounded by bomb at Police HQ in Islamabad
PAKISTAN: There were several people wounded by a bomb blast on
Thursday at police headquarters on the outskirts on Islamabad, a senior
police official said. “I am at the site of the blast. I have seen
several people wounded, eight or nine,” police official Khalid Mehmood
told Reuters.
Security in the city has been stepped in the wake of a suicide truck
bomb that killed 55 people and destroyed the Marriott hotel on Sept. 20.
There are fears of more bomb attacks in reaction to an army offensive
against Islamist militant strongholds in the tribal areas bordering
Afghanistan.
