PESHAWAR, Jan 29: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Mohammad Ali Durrani, while praising the police officials killed in the Peshawar bomb blast, said the nation was proud of them as they had written a new chapter in the history of Pakistan.

He expressed these views while inquiring after the health of injured police officials at the Lady Reading Hospital and the RMI.
