49 persons, including a woman and seven children, were killed and 90 others were injured when a suicide attacker detonated his explosives-laden car at the crowded Soekarno Chowk in Khyber Bazaar in Peshawar, capital of NWFP, on October 9, The News reported. A Police official said that people were busy in routine activities when a suicide bomber detonated the explosives laden in his car. Many of those killed and injured were passengers of a mini-bus that was passing through the area at the time of the blast. Seven children, many of them schoolboys, and a woman, were among those killed. The blast destroyed around 30 vehicles and partially damaged over 60 shops in the nearby markets. Windowpanes of hundreds of shops and offices were also reportedly destroyed. Among those killed or injured were patients and their attendants going or coming out of the nearby Lady Reading Hospital, the biggest public sector hospital in the NWFP. An official of the bomb disposal unit (BDU) estimated that around 50 kg of high-intensity explosives had been loaded in the car, being driven by the suicide bomber, while another official said the explosives were around 100 kg. “As the explosives were loaded in the doors and side cavities, it caused more damage to the nearby buildings rather than creating a huge crater in the ground,” a BDU official said. There were reports that the bomber attempted to reach the NWFP Assembly building through Sher Shah Suri Road but was not allowed by the Policemen near the Peshawar Central Prison. The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Malik Naveed termed the attack a reaction to the ongoing military operations in Swat and parts of the FATA. The Deputy Medical Superintendent at Lady Reading Hospital, Sahib Gul, said the blast killed 50 people and wounded 120 others, 22 of them critically. Dr Gul said the death toll could increase, adding that most of the dead were beyond recognition. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombing.
