PESHAWAR, Dec 11: Four CD and video shops were destroyed in different bomb explosions in the Badha Bera Bazaar and adjoining areas on Monday night.

The shops were situated in the bazaar and along the Tela Band Road near Spin Jumaat (white mosque), police said.

Another 5kg locally-made bomb was defused.

Owners of CD and video shops had recently received anonymous letters, asking them to close their business. The letters stated that selling of CDs was un-Islamic and it spread obscenity.
