PESHAWAR: A cylinder exploded close to the home of Mian Iftikhar Hussain, a prominent provincial minister in restive northwest Pakistan on Tuesday, wounding six people including three children, police said.
The injured included three children, a woman and plain clothed policemen.
Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) chief Abdul Haq told Dawn.com that the blast occurred due to a cylinder explosion which was kept at an under-construction house, along with other construction material.
Haq further said that there was no evidence of any explosive material in the blast and that cylinder shrapnel and material was collected for further testing.
Panic and fear spread the area where a political gathering was scheduled to take place at the provincial ministers house at 2 pm today.
Consequently the gathering was rescheduled.
The blast hit in the town of Pabbi, just 60 metres from the home of Hussain, the information minister for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, which is frequently hit by attacks by militants.
