KHYBER AGENCY: At least three people were injured in a blast in the Landi Kotal Bazaar of the Khyber Agency.
According to Khasadar officials, the injured in the attack were the members of a religious group named as Tawheed ul Islam.
The injured were shifted to a local hospital.
Moreover, security forces on reaching the spot, cordoned off the area and began a search operation.
Khyber is part of Pakistan’s semi-autonomous tribal belt on the Afghan border. The Taliban and other Al Qaeda-linked groups, who stage attacks in both countries, are known to have strongholds in the zone.
Meanwhile, three suspects were killed in a police encounter in the Sheikh Maltoon area of Mardan. Police sources claimed that those killed were members of a dacoit gang and were wanted in several cases.
