LANDI KOTAL, Dec 4: A powerful explosion in CDs and computer market in Landi Kotal bazaar on Saturday caused damage to two shops and disrupted power supply to the market.

An official of the local political administration said that nobody was hurt in the explosion as all the shops were closed at the time of blast.

He said that extensive damage was caused to at least two CD shops.

Though nobody has claimed responsibility for the blast, local militants had last year issued a warning to local shopkeepers dealing in music CDs to wind up their businesses.—Correspondent
