PESHAWAR, March 13: Bomb hoax created panic among the people when some unidentified people spread the rumours that explosives had been planted somewhere at the State Life Building on the Mall here on Thursday.

Following the reports, the frightened employees of various organisations, financial institutions and visitors came out of their offices and started gathering along the road. In the meantime the local police and officials of the Bomb Disposal Squad also arrived and thoroughly searched the multi-story building from its basement to the upper floor and also checked vehicles parked on its premises.—Bureau Report
